Universal fit as advertised
I have two different old-style machines, and this belt worked on both of them. Great value for a hard-to-find part.

Works but smells strong initially
The belt works fine mechanically, but it had a strong rubber smell when I first opened the package. It aired out after a day though.

Sturdy and reliable
Very impressed with the thickness and grip of this belt. My treadle machine hasn't run this smooth in years. Highly recommend for collectors.

Good quality, slight adjustment needed
The belt is well-made and looks the part. I had to adjust the tension slightly on my machine, but once set, it runs smoothly without slipping.

Saved my restoration project
Exactly what I needed to complete the restoration of my grandmother's sewing machine. It has the right vintage look and functions beautifully.

Perfect fit for my antique machine
I was worried about finding a belt for my 1940s treadle machine, but this Butterfly brand belt fits perfectly. The leather-rubber mix feels authentic and durable.
Q: How long is the belt before installation?
A: The belt comes in a continuous loop standard for household treadle machines. If your machine requires a specific custom length, minor trimming or tension adjustment may be needed.
Q: Does this come with installation instructions?
A: The package includes the belt only. However, installation is generally straightforward by looping it around the drive wheel and the motor or flywheel pulley.
Q: Can this be used on an electric motor conversion kit?
A: Yes, many customers use this belt when converting treadle machines to electric motors, provided the pulley sizes are compatible with standard household setups.
Q: Will this belt fit a Singer treadle machine from the 1930s?
A: Yes, this is a universal belt designed to fit most standard old-style treadle machines, including vintage Singer models from that era.
Q: Is the belt made entirely of leather or is there rubber in it?
A: The belt is a composite made of both rubber and leather to provide the flexibility of rubber with the durability and grip of leather, typical of vintage styles.
