Making a Universal Treadle Base for most machines in minutes!!

[@kimcastle4081]

You’re a genius!

[@lindadalton2668]

I can’t find the words to describe the beauty of that machine

[@pwhite2579]

pretty machine! excellent idea!

[@5onCover]

Thank you! Very informative video. Laughed when you said excuse your mess. Oh my. We are all way worse than that! I need to learn to make bases.

That machine is darling and how clever to use the tubing as the belt.

[@lizzyhazel4085]

Just now watching some of your new videos. Daughter got married a few weeks ago❤. That was a lot of work. Now, back to my sewing machines. You are really lucky to find such a beautiful, old, complete machine. Thanks for showing us!

[@prometheansewingmachines]

Congratulations! And welcome back 😁

[@marathorne6821]

Your ingenuity never fails to inspire me 👏 Well done, once again!

[@kathleenwhite9741]

I just love this channel!!!💖🙏👍

[@louisasmith3430]

Great idea! Wonderful job!

[@sewterie]

I love that machine. It is in my cart. I have been loving watching your channel. I have restored a few vintage machines. I don't have a place where I can paint them, so this beauty will adorn my collection. Thanks for doing these. Yes. Fish tank tubes will work as SM belts.

I think I just sent you an email

[@tamaradensmore6216]

Very clever idea!❤

[@sewinglifeisfun]

I love your thread holder and Rose is so beautiful.

[@christosvolikakis1523]

Love your idea of the vinyl tubing as a replacement belt. I was wondering if you can use electrical wire heat shrink tubing to seal it as well for extra strength.

[@prometheansewingmachines]

Worth a try!

[@reneegray736]

Thank you for sharing!

[@normacooper6377]

Ingenious! Couldn’t you instead use a thin piece of plywood to cover the opening? It’s rigid & would provide a stable surface. You could easily add screws to the corners, too. Just a thought.

[@prometheansewingmachines]

I could of I wasn't going to be folding the lid closed. That would look nice.

[@mercedesdelcastillo8324]

That ingenious 😊. Too bad I just don’t have the space to get a treadle sewing machine.

A good way to trim the band weld excess is a nail clipper.

[@veewaha4009]

Awesome idea to use a polyurethane belt. Any need to be concerned about excess wear on the balance wheel bushing from an overly tight belt?

[@prometheansewingmachines]

I really don't think that the amount of tension on the belt will do any excessive wear. At least for the way I have it set up. :)

❤❤❤

[@angela8640]

Hi, I was wondering when you said you could remove the piece on the side of the Singer cabinet. Doesn't it cause the treadle to actually move? I am trying to put a different machine in my cabinet but the little knobby thing is preventing the machine from sitting flush. Can you help??

[@prometheansewingmachines]

Send me a message on my website.

[@edfishburn]

as a straight Aussie male, I am a fan of the original black& gold beauty. This is definitely NOT my machine.. .lol .... That said, I can't help but appreciate the exquisite beauty of your creation here. . I see this machine being infinitely more attractive and enticing to a seamstress/dressmaker. . It calls out to a lady, to bond with it and create items of fabric beauty. It is a creative masterpiece, and I am truly impressed, ,... WELL DONE.

[@prometheansewingmachines]

Thank you straight Aussie male. And the main thing is that it works now! :)

[@nmjerry]

Thinking about it, it seems to me it would be better to sew the treadle belt instead of stapling it. Could I be 150 years out of siync

[@rh598]

Is there a best source of treadle machines? Thanks Wait, are the machines on your site for sale? Are they fully functional with accessories?

[@prometheansewingmachines]

Hello, the machines that are listed on my site for sale are for sale! I can't say that I have a lot of accessories for them. I think treadles are fabulous machines though.

[@lindadalton2668]

Why not get a piece of thin plywood to cut and go in that opening easier to cut to size

[@prometheansewingmachines]

Sure, why not!
