    not sure where black came from or if can get out now.

    It is the reaction between iron and tannin, same as used to make vinegaroon if you would like to look that up.

    Keep all iron filings off your work space!

    You may be able to bleach it out using oxalic acid (teaspoon full in a pint of water) or wood bleach, or barkeeps friend (which all contain oxalic acid.  Rinse after to reduce the acid left in the leather.

    Can anyone tell me which model of Singer this is?  Based on serial number it shows to be a Series 31 but I've bought numerous bobbin hooks for a 31-15 and they are slightly too large and are binding when turning the hand wheel.  Any help would be appreciated.  TIA  https://studio.shootproof.com/v3/297736/gallery/24350194Singer Pic

    I split your post off the old thread you had tagged onto.  When looking for something like this, start a new thread.

    Also post pictures here, not on 3rd party hosts.

    I'm sorry I'm a couple years delayed and responding to this I kind of lost access to my computer and forgot about the website for a while so my apologies I was able to find a source at my cobbler supply place since I am an active of cobbler,  but thank you for responding

    Either quote a part of the post you want the member to be notified, or tag the member by typing the @ symbol followed by the member's screen name.  Then pick from the popup list.

    @goaninmumbai  You have a query, see above.

    when I open the thread and click on a link I get a message saying the topic is no longer available

    Unfortunately, some items disappear off the web.  We have no control over that.  That being said, there have been a number of forum software upgrades over the years, and along with that, changes to internet protocols and browsers.

    I just had a look at the top pinned item.  Further down in the posts, the original URL was fixed.  I just copied that into the first post.  The person's own website is not available, and I can't fix that.

    As you find some of these problems, message me, and I'll see if I can fix broken links on this site, or recover from other sources.  It's not going to happen all at once as I have a life of my own to live.  I have fixed quite a number in the past.  Maybe more in the future.

    Would you know anything about how to put the thread guide pin/post back on the machine?

    The pin must be slightly tapered.  Put some fingernail polish on it, tap it into place - gently.  Clean any oil off the pin and out of the hole first before applying fingernail polish (or other retaining compound such as Loctite - various formulations like Loctite 290 thread locker).

    EDIT:  Do you have a manual for your machine?  Lots of manuals online for 20U33.

    Just looked at my 20U33.  It doesn't have a pin.  My machine is blue, from about 1975 if I remember right.
