I am so excited. I stopped by the sewing machine shop after work today. I wanted to find out if they had a belt for my treadle machine. THEY DID!! Oh joy. Now I can put this on instead of the leather shoe lace. My DH also stopped and got some 3 in one oil today for me. I have oil my machine and it runs like a top. I am using the hand soap suggested to clean the outside of the machine. Whew, this is going to take a while.
Hey Billy should I use a damp cloth to wipe off the surface after using this soap? I am also using the soap to clean the face plate. It has so much rust from over the years that the mothers was not taking all of this off. I will finish off with the mothers on the face plate after I get it clean. Oh, yeah I was also able to get the bobbins for this machine as well.
The grime on the outside of the machine is taking longer to get off than I thought it would.
Thanks Billy for all of your help.
