Need help with treadle sewing machine restoration
Can someone advise me about getting a treadle belt to move the handwheel? I bought a Brunswick treadle sewing machine with a vibrating shuttle for a bobbin. I have taken apart what I knew I could put back together, cleaned the gunk and rust, took off the brown paint from the sewing table (it is a beautiful dark oak with carvings on the drawers) and just stained it to show the grain. I cleaned the base. So now I replaced the belt. It works for the bobbin winder but when I tighten the handwheel, the pedal won't move. When I turn the handwheel, the pedal moves but not the other way around. Help!
