I was wondering about that. I bought a treadle about a year ago and the belt looks like a leather boot lace. My question....How do you fasten the ends together when you put the new belt on? (I'm new at this.) Thanks!

I use panty hose to replace my treadle machine belt. Cut off the body just above the crotch section and thread it on the machine, pull it tight then tie a knot. It is easy to adjust the tension if needed, just undo the knot and tighten. I do most of my sewing on my treadle machine as it is my favourite and have never needed to replace the original panty hose.
