    Default What do I do with my Singer 99k?

    I just got it back from the dealers. I had it gone through and it's ready to sew. But I have a very nice computerized machine that I've been using for 2 years. It didn't come with any extra feet. I bought bobbins, needles and a manual and don't know if it does anything but straight stitch. I was thinking about putting it in my closet. I don't even know why I bought it. I wanted something old (I don't know why) and now that I have it, should I use it instead of my new one? It has a case. Should I sell it?

    No, keep it. You never know when you'll need it. Use it as a backup. IMHO

    -Singer bentwood case 15-91
    -Singer 15-90 Probable will list this on CraigsList this summer
