My latest find: Gritzner in a treadle cabinet... the cabinet needs some work, but the machine cleaned up rather nicely. I think my wife, Susan, has fallen for it- so it looks like my treadle will be the 201K I picked up a couple weeks ago. I need to clean it up and make a table top for it to fit onto the irons of a treadle I was given.

If you don't want to deal with the staple, you can hold the two ends together with dental floss. Much easier to do than using that staple that comes with the belts. Just sew the dental floss through punched holes.

Your cabinet to your machine is very pretty.

John, That really is a pretty machine and in wonderful shape. I saw your post somewhere else and fell in love with it. Very unique.

Treadle belts. After trying to punch through a treadle belt with an awl and doing a better job of running it through my finger, I started using a 1/16" drill bit in my cordless drill. It is quicker, easier, more accurate, and safer for me.

Grant is correct. I am out of the habit of recommending power tools...

The other (and best) option is a set of treadle belt pliers (just so's ya knows)
One the left is a pair of Singer, on the right a par of Bernard brand (better IMO)
