Difference Between Treadle Belts?
 

I don't know the answer but you can get the tan leather ones from Sew Classic. She provides great service.

I never have bought a treadle belt per say...I buy leather bootlaces and use those!

That sounds like a good idea. Charlee, how do you know what length to buy? There wasn't a belt on my treadle when I bought it.

is it less expensive to buy the leather boot laces? I am gonna need to buy a belt soon, I think................

To measure the length you need you can just run a piece of twine or something through the path and then measure to see how long it is. I was thinking of using yarn but that may stretch. I think I will try the bootlace for my next one to put in a cabinet too.

The leather bootlaces come in a 72 inch length, I buy those and cut them down to size. :)

I've been cleaning up my treadle and need a new belt. I think I'll give these a try. Thanks for the tip.

I've heard that you can use oxygen tubing

Thanks for the info. I'll give it a try. How do you fasten the ends together? On another thread someone used dental floss to stitch the ends of a belt together. Not sure how to finish the boot laces.
