Thank you, I will adjust the wire. So there is a reason the thread is always binding up and breaking! I thought it was just my poor treadling!

My DH was cleaning my Diamond treadle and found on the back of the machine "made in occupied Japan" It's serial number is D49649. Any info on this machine?

That just made the price of that machine jump through the roof!! What did you guys pay for it anyway?
You need to make sure you be careful with the machine and treadle and make sure you take your time and cleaning it. Items with that designation were made from 1948-1952 or 53, and they commend high prices from collectors and some that only collect that moniker.
Congratulations on your find

It was motorized but we turned it back into a treadle. Was that the right thing to do? We still have the motor, bracket etc.

OK that's it, I'm hooked I just have to get a tredle machine, even got hubby to help me look for one, LOL We start the hunt this week!
I had a singer tredle 48 years ago and made lots of things on it, so think it is time I got myself another one to use.
I have started to read all the back log of pages on this list, hope to gain some smarts about what to look for, :-) happy stitchin!
