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.

It was obvious you were referring to hand stitching and maybe you thought this forum was all about hand stitching. I was letting you know that it included machine stitching too. No problem.

Service manual should have instructions on setting the check spring position.

I see a parts list at https://www.supsew.com/search-results/?wpfb_s=46k46 But no instruction manual. Further above in this thread, @Constabulary said he has one of these machines. Maybe he has more information that can help you.

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.

@KeriHat The check spring is adjusted by rotating the assembly to the desired position before you tighten the retaining screw. Do a search for setting the check spring.

@Pink1977 moved your post to leather sewing machines since this is turning into a sewing machine discussion.

Split your post off an unrelated thread. You'll get better response from properly titled and placed post than you will from contaminating another unrelated thread.

You seem to add spam links to vendor sites every so often. Please provide info, not spam. Moved this thread to 3D Printers and Lasers

This forum includes both hand and machine sewing. There is a separate forum for sewing machines where machine types, troubles, how to, problem solving are discussed.

10kW Generac at Home Depot $5000 CAN 22 kW $7500 CAN Auto Transfer switch 100A 120-240VAC $1200 CAN. Probably over sized, but a reference point for interest.

You got it 2 minutes before I flagged it and blocked them from posting.

You can try moistening the back a little, don't soak it, lay out on paper towel to absorb the moisture, place smooth plastic on top, piece of plywood on top of that, pile a bunch of books or other weights on top and leave it for a couple days. Any pattern in the material you place on top of the leather will transfer to the leather, so has to be smooth. If you are in an area with high humidity and warm that promotes mold growth, need to inspect after a few hours, air it out, and replace the weights and repeat.

My son has a Generac 2200 kW on natural gas with auto transfer. He has 2 sump pumps in the basement and one in a well just outside the basement. His house is in an area close to a creek, and only has about 6" of top soil on gravel, the ground water level gets pretty high during mountain snow melt and rain in June each year. When they coincide, there is water from the creek across the road into his acreage. Power poles in his area have fallen over during these rains and floods knocking out power in the area. While we were putting in the generator, we got the heavy rain and huge mountain run off due to rain in the mountains. He had a 2" trash pump running continuous to keep the basement dry. The gas fitter wouldn't come out in the rain to make the last hook up, so we switched the generator to propane and brought in multiple propane bottles. Was a really stressful few days. Now it's all automated and fewer problems, but the gasoline trash pumps and hose are on standby just in case!
