I think this sewing machine is considered a "featherweight," but I'm not sure. But what I'm looking for is a 1/4" quilting foot. Does anyone know where I can purchase one for this machine?

Thanks for helping out!

There is a great site called April's 1930's shop. She has all kinds of things and is super nice to buy from.

A 99 isn't a Featherweight.

Well it is not a Featherweight but it is a 3/4 machine. YOu can find the feet at your local fabric store just make sure it is for a low shank machine. But you will find out that you have a great little machine and the 99's sew so smoothly after a good cleaning and oiling.

The first time I hefted a model 99 I almost fell over, not expecting it to weight that much....:mrgreen:
