Singer Model 99
I will soon be the new owner of a Singer Model 99, apparently born in 1926.
She arrives this week. Does anyone know anything about these machines or where I can go to get information? I know she is beautiful but I'm not even sure she works. It was my first eBay transaction so I'm also hoping I haven't been taken advantage of - if you know what I mean! * * * * * * * Happy Quilting! Laurie G. |

Thanks, Irene! I do know that there is no reverse but I can live with that.
I'm not sure how much I will actually be using this machine, but I think it is a great piece to have. Laurie G. "IMS" wrote in message ... Hopefully you know that most 99s do not have a reverse feature,and can live with that Some folks just use a stitch set to '0' for a few turns to lock the stitch. The 99 is a great straight stitcher, which came in a lot of various 'decal' patterns. It uses class 66 drop in bobbins. The Needlebar site has lots of info on old Singers: http://www.needlebar.com/singer.html And here, too, where there is also a manual: http://www.users.bigpond.com/gryphoninc/home03.html It may need lubrication, and how to do this in the manual. -Irene On Sat, 06 Nov 2004 05:34:09 GMT, "Laurie G." wrote: I will soon be the new owner of a Singer Model 99, apparently born in 1926.

Laurie G. I have two - one was made in 1931 and one was made in 1937. The 37 is in mint condition and is a gem. The 31 I have sewn on loads, but it was in worse condition when I started and was my sole sewing machine for several years. I sewed all sorts of things on it - cotton patchwork, fake fur teddy bears, even hemmed some curtains and work dresses. Even if it doesn't reverse, it is a good little machine! -- Jo in Scotland |
