Now the belt keeps slipping.
It happened the first night I had the treadle and I tightened the belt as it was REALLY loose. But I looked at it and its not loose (well a little but no more then it should be).
Anyone one have any suggestions?
How is your treadling? I had a terrible time getting even stitches because I was a terrible treadler! Once, I figured out how to treadle and keep going forward, I had no problems with thread breaks any more. When I started treadling I was not smooth and the machine would go forward then take a back stitch and break thread -- constantly. Also, make sure you have a new, sharp needle!
Good Luck!
