Oh gosh, the whole saga of the sewing machine belts?
It came with a 14 1/4" (measured using the rolling method) but that was too big. I tried a 13 3/4" which I already had but it was too small. I ordered a 14 1/8 nominal size (supposed to be 13 7/8" actual) but the actual rolling measurement size I got was only 13 1/2. Then I ordered a belt specifically for Kenmores, the DP6912 which was supposed to be 14 1/4 (nominal?) but it was too small too. I'm using a stretch belt right now.
Using Jenny's method of measuring using a thin strip of paper to see what size belt is needed, I could use 13 1/2 - 14" but that would be the inside size of the belt right? Not the outside, rolling measurement. This is overly complicated IMHO!
Folks - if you already know what size belt you need, write it down!! And thank your lucky stars. I'll be so happy once this is all settled.
