Question on treadle machines
Ok, As I said before, I bought my first vintage machine, a Singer 127 Treadle. I cleaned it up, got a new belt and it works really well. However, since I'm new at this I have a question. I wanted to lower the machine back into the cabinet, and it seriously stretches the belt. I'm afraid I am going to break my brand new belt. Is there a secret to lowering the machine without stretching (and/or breaking) the belt?
