Lubricating the treadle
I posted some time ago about the White Family Rotary treadle machine I got. My question relates to the treadle iron. It is very difficult to move the treadle back and forward or up and down as the case may be. What is the best way to lubricate? Do you use SMO or does it take something heavier like grease? The hand wheel still has a hard part in the turn. What can correct that? I tried to sew some blocks together with it yesterday but got too frustrated. The wheel kept wanting to spin counter clockwise rather than clockwise and would knot everything up. Thanks for you help.
