I'm so glad you are ok.

treadle needs a belt..//Cathie..I will tell you what I just learned! The belt on your tredle is prob and actually good enough to use. What I was shown was to figure out how much has been stretched out on the belt..you will find a slit where only a staple is holding that belt together...you cut it and restaple to the right tension. They condition them with mineral spirits...if you dont have that..use plain old vegetable oil. If I was in your situation...I would so try it!!:))This information came from a guy that use to help recondition them with his grandmother-SKeat

Yep all is okay here now....praying for others now....

Skeat...tried this first but belt is brittle....and now is to short....got a leather glove lace from our local shoe repair man....ahh alas electric back on but DH will have fun trying to fix it for me...Thanks for your suggestion and all the worries from others....
