Probably should have contacted them about it but it didn't cost too much. Have you used that kind of belt?
Kitsy,
The amber / orange / pink cogged belts run the gamut in quality. From horridly cheep to good. Sew-Classic sold me two early last year that did as yours did, fell apart. They were past the warranty time so I just ordered the black belts, not the round rubber band but the real black belt. Those work very good.
After that she has put in a line of better quality Japanese made cogged belts. I haven't bought any yet but eventually I will.
