Big laugh, it is still the loudest machine I own while the treadle is one of my smoothest and quietest.
I love how the NVF treadles, too....really, really smooth!! I can't believe how easy it is to treadle. Lots easier then my 1956 Singer 15 in the straight leg treadle. That thing gives me a workout!
Monica, question....the treadle belt on my NVF has started slipping out of the groove on the wheel on the irons...is it too loose? It was a brand new belt when I put it on.
