Thanks. If I wanted to, I can unloop the belt when using the handcrank. I may change to tubing belt. It is easier to put on and take off. That is, if I want to change often during a project.
Since I have so many handcranks, treadles, electric, one semi industrial walking foot, and 2 industrials, one straight stitch and one walking foot, a portable blindstitch machine and a serger/coverstitch, I may not find the need to do so.
