Hi Muv, could you explain what the term japanned means? Also is the Peek the tube that you show on the video on how to clean a vintage machine? Do you happen to own a Treadle machine? I believe I have watched all your videos and have seen anything on the Treadle. Would you consider doing one specifically to the Treadle? I have taken apart my tension disc several times because although I get the most beautiful stitch plus thanks to you I have the perfect scant 1/4 inch seam, my thread keeps breaking and I have followed your threading instructions. It feels like the thread is too tight then breaks which is very frustrating as it happens every 2 inches or so of stitching. Anything you could recommend would be greatly appreciated.
