[quote=Crossstitcher]Well Guys and Gals, I am doing a happy dance tonight. DH and I just won this on E bay. Can't wait to get her home. Will call her Diana. Suppose to be the same size as the FW. I think she sure is pretty. Going to put her in an orphan cabinet. Here's a few pic.[/quot
Ebay has one on there that is the same machine and decals only it has Cinderella on it. It is also not in as good shape as yours. They were wanting $89 for it I think.

First the bobbin keeps getting stuck. Well not the bobbin but the thread. Like I can not pull the tread out.
When I get it going again I sew for a little bit and then it sticks again and puckers up the fabric.
Now the belt keeps slipping.
It happened the first night I had the treadle and I tightened the belt as it was REALLY loose. But I looked at it and its not loose (well a little but no more then it should be).
Anyone one have any suggestions?
I was really looking forward to making my first quilt on the treadle.
I have oiled it and wiped it down but it looks in good shape no gunk build up.
It was used by an older lady till she past away so it has not been stored long.

The bobbin sounds like the thread is not seating in the bobbin case tension spring try to reinstall the bobbin and route the thread correctly and you should be good.

Thanks Billy
I dont know what the issue was with the belt. I put the new treadle head on the base (same belt) and it works fine.
The bobbin is inserted and drawn through right. It just gets stuck not always but enough to make it a pain.
I will probably have to dissect it someday and figure it out.
Maybe I will take a pic and diagram it to show you. I am horrible at explaining
