It's a bit hard to do this by myself, my husband came in and I recruited my husband and he got it on and it doesn't slip, my Iron Lady needs to be cleaned, new leather belt I can finally get to use her. Iron Lady's are still fun to own, they were made to last year's if taken care of. I highly recommend them, you'll get 2 belts so I will give my other one away to my friend who's refurbishing her Lady. I'll update when I finish and at least create one of my projects.

I found a Singer 127 treadle machine with treadle, circa 1923, in a thrift store a few weeks back. Nostalgia! It was missing a functional treadle belt, so I ordered this product for the repair. I thought, "My great-grandmother could change a belt, so I can, too!"These belts come as a strap, not a loop, but the included awl enables you to poke a hole in the leather... Beware, the awl doesn't differentiate between leather and finger, although the rough leather does absorb blood quite nicely. You have to run the strap around the treadle wheel, through the machine base holes, and over the machine hand wheel track, then use clothespins or clamps to hold tension and keep the strap ends on your work surface. This is challenging to do. One playful swipe from your cat during the process and you have to start over. I fully recommend locking any felines in another room while you do this.Once set up, you have to stretch your belt taut, figure out your new belt size, draw a line where you want to cut it, and use cutting pliers to size the belt. Once sized and pierced, use the included staple to join the ends, and use pliers to bend the staple into the leather to secure. Once done, you should be able to sew.The belt worked very well, with just enough tension to prevent slipping. My only complaint is the leg workout. No wonder our ancestors women were so tough. Those treadle machines were no joke! Grandma could sew all day and have the muscle tone to crack a walnut between her thighs.

Good quality

Loved that had all I needed to do the job

The belts are fine, but quite difficult to install on the treadle machine wheel. They always are. no matter what brand I have bought. (I think there is a tool for installing treadle sewing machine belts, but they are expensive. It is worth the effort to put them on the wheel, and my machine works fine. I think that his is a good deal.
