Leather Belt
- When it comes to belts, we want to look for something lasting. Unlike normal sewing belts for traditional machines, this belt is thicker, and its meant to do its job carrying the wheel at its best.
- Â Available in both the Eco version and the softer versionÂ
- Used for traditional sewing machine, the softer and thicker version will also require less effort to paddle the machine, as well as having a longer life....
How to fix up the Leather belt to a Traditional, Pedal Sewing Machine?
The standard length should be 72 inches. It will be longer than required. What you have to do is to put it in place, pull both Ends tight till they meet, pull them tight, make a mark on the End that is without the Hook, cut away the balance on this End.
Then slightly flatten a 10mm part from this End, use an Awl to make a 2mm diameter hole at 8mm away from the same End, useful to align the hole to the center line of the this End. The flattening action was to assist the alignment and the piercing process done more accurately, and safely.
Lastly, insert the Hook that was all the while attached and close the hook with a Plier, or a hammer.
