Here's another of my great finds. A Singer 99 in the cabinet with original book & attachments, buttonholer too. The bobbin drops in & doesn't use a case. Only sews a straight stitch

Well, this little beauty has been in my storage shed all this time. Case is a little scratched and very dusty but the machine still looks like new.
Guess what? It works like a charm. Doesn't hesitate at the bulky seams, loosened the pressure foot and it takes thick batting, you can even drop the feed dogs for FMQ! And to think I almost went out and bought a new inexpensive machine and I had this little jewel all along. Who would have thought it!
