I've finally installed a leather belt on my WW D-9. Does anyone know how tight it should be?? I find winding the bobbin is quite a challenge. I now have a greater respect for the woman of the1800's!!? I could only find one utube demo for this. It was not complete enough for me. Does anyone in this group know of a web site, or any other resource that has a more detailed explanation?? As I treadle, the bobbin turns forward and backward, winding and unwinding. ugh!!? Thank you for your comments to come!

My D-9 is the drop head version. I acquired the machine first and the cabinet later. I cleaned the machine the best I could. It has no decals and looks as though someone painted it. However all the important parts were removed first and put back on. My cabinet is need of refurbishing. I watched a man on utube and he took all the pieces apart, fixing the missing veneer spots. It does seem overwhelming!!? It's a good challenge for me and my husband, but well worth it. ?

Hi Diana;
The D-9 is a very good stitching machine. Is your D-9 a covered top version with the bandwheel out side the leg or the drop head with bandwheel inside the leg. No real difference in the stitching ability, just curious as to type. My D-9 treadle is the drop head variety. I was very fortunate in obtaining a hand crank version at a very reasonable cost which I use much more than the treadle.
