Empire Treadle Machine
 
I have an Empire treadle machine that was in my family. I have done a little research, but didn't find more than basics. It has no model # or info that I can find. I need a new belt for it and would like some sort of user guide. With a new belt and thorough cleaning I think I could use this machine, tons of attachments. I would appreciate any info.
Thanks, Marielle

According to Ismac's Needle list, http://www.ismacs.net/needle_and_sha...eedle-list.pdf , it could be made by Davis or New Home. A picture is needed for positive ID.

You won't need a model number to get a belt. All treadle belts are about 72" long, and come with the staple in one end. You just measure it on your machine and cut it off to fit.

Thank you for the belt info, now I can get one ordered and see how she sews.

I order mine from Sew-Classics. Jenny is very fast and has just about any part you need.

Treadlelady.com is where I got the belt for my treadle.
