GREEN!! My favorite color. Is this my birthday present? I haven't sewn on my new treadle yet. BUT that tube belt you suggested does work for now.

It looks really good. The reflection is clearly visible. Very nice color, too. I agree about gold decals.

Oh I can hardly wait to see it finished! Looks like it will be a John Deer machine when finished.
