I like your dental floss technique. I used it on my 201 and that is my quietest treadle/machine that I own. From here on out, I will be using dental floss.
Sharon and Monica, what do you use to get the dental floss sewn on? A large needle? I haven't tried the dental floss, but sometimes when treadling my belt slips - acts like it is stuck - I wonder if the dental floss will fix that issue?
