I apologize if this question is already on the site somewhere, I couldn't find anything by doing a search. Now that my treadle machine is all cleaned I think the next step is to use car wax. Is Turtle Wax a good wax to use? Thanks in advance for your help!

Don't know if they help explain the problem, but worth the try. Any suggestions? Especially since, as Charlee observed, this might not be the original needlebar. |

I'd pull the faceplate and make sure everything there is tight where it should be, and check for bends or warps in the presser bar... After that, I'm not sure what to tell you! I do know that from what I've read, it seems fairly simple to switch it out... |
Thanks Charlee I'll check it out.

:thumbup: Thanks Charlee & Glenn! I did it! Found the screw, loosened it, moved the bar just enough & tightened it all back up. Never knew that bar could be adjusted, but stands to reason with these old gals being so do-it-yourself on everything else :)
