Cord Grips
Cord Grips
I have to keep shortening the treadle belt on my vintage singer to maintain function. Is this normal?
The treadle belt for my vintage singer is simply a leather cord that connects at one end. I find that after very little use, the cord loosens and slips until of gripping and turning the wheel. I have to keep cutting the cord and shortening it in order to get a grip on the wheel and make it turn. Is there something I should be doing that I'm not? I can't imagine the design is as poor as it seems. I feel like this can't actually be normal.

New belts CAN stretch and need adjusting. That's why they have a staple in the end rather than being more permanently fixed. Depending on the quality of the belt, this can need doing up to 10 times!
To avoid stretching unnecessarily, unhook the belt when the machine is not in use.
DO NOT wet the belt or use any kind of leather treatment on it. The belt should not be TIGHT, just tight enough for friction to work.
