Difference Between Treadle Belts?
My DD bought two treadle belts some time ago. Both were red not the usual brown ones. The first red one she put on broke the first time she began to sew with it. And it kept cracking and breaking. Any suggestions? I don't like the red color, ugh. Does not look vintage to me.

To measure the length you need you can just run a piece of twine or something through the path and then measure to see how long it is. I was thinking of using yarn but that may stretch. I think I will try the bootlace for my next one to put in a cabinet too.

Thanks for the info. I'll give it a try. How do you fasten the ends together? On another thread someone used dental floss to stitch the ends of a belt together. Not sure how to finish the boot laces.
