Wow!! Fantastic knives. I'm sure you will be successful with your new machine. It takes a little time to sort out the quirks. Do lots of practise on scrap. Learn how to turn corners, etc.

Okay, I set up access on my cell phone so now I can see what the typical screen should look like on a phone. First of all, are you expecting the "Edit" button to be on the screen while you are submitting a reply or post? If that is the case, no, there is no "Edit" button. You have access to correct what is on the screen until you hit the "Submit Reply" button. After it is submitted, you need the "Edit" button. If you are going back to a post you just made and submitted, there should be an edit button at the bottom of the post. Starting in the bottom left corner, you should see a "+" sign, then "Quote", then "Edit", then maybe "Options". I have the options item, you might not as I have extra tools that users don't have. Please note that the "Edit" button option times out. It's only there for a short period of time, maybe an hour or two. (Have never figured out how long, as it is there for moderators all the time.) Then you would have to quote and make a correction in a new reply, or report it and ask a moderator to fix it for you and explain what the fix is that is required. As far as ADA goes, maybe your device needs to be ADA compliant. So a much larger tablet or keyboard to make it easier to hit the right characters.

This appears to be a problem on your device. Are you using a phone? I really dislike the small keyboards. I have to keep backing up and re-typing my comments. So I use a computer most of the time where my fingers fit the keyboard. I still make lots of typos, but much easier to correct. I'll have to setup a login on my phone and see what the screen looks like as to what happens to the edit button. Normally it's there for an hour or two before it expires.

Try a #23, #22 doesn't always work.

Please post your photos here. 3rd party hosted photos frequently disappear due to changes in the host's policies, host out of business, users moving files, deleting files, closing their account or the account expiring. When this happens, the post becomes worthless to all future users who are researching or looking for help to solve a problem. If your files are too large to post here due to file size restrictions, you need to resize your files to fit. Follow this link for some helps and suggestions. https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/15122-how-to-post-pictures-on-lw/?do=findComment&comment=551171 There are lots of Apps, software, and online tools available on the web, or even built into your device to enable you to reduce your file sizes. 800 pixels in the longest dimension is quite adequate. Smart phone screens and many monitors don't display high res files in high resolution. People that live on the fringes of the internet appreciate smaller file sizes and high res photos may take from 10 minutes to hours to download.

You should quote something from the person you want to connect with, or tag them so they will get a notification.

You realize this thread is 10 years old? Moved this thread to Dyes, Antiques, Stains, Glues, Waxes, Finishes and Conditioners. He is likely using oxalic acid. Mix about 1 teaspoon to a pint of water. It's very mild, like the strength of lemon juice. Dealing with leather here, not soldering metals.

@panchoskywalker Move your post from help wanted to how do I do that. Replies to help wanted also require moderator's approval and you are a member. Glue is usually stronger than foam. And solvents for many glues will dissolve foam. Strip it all and apply new foam and cover.

Have you searched for an instruction manual? It will have what you are asking for. Even a google search brings up lots of hits. Search for: Singer 45k89 manual

Please post your photos here, videos are usually way to large so have to be posted on a 3rd party host. YouTube is a common site for videos. Your imgur.com video came through nicely. 3rd party hosted photos frequently disappear due to changes in the host's policies, host out of business, users moving files, deleting files, closing their account or the account expiring.
