I just got a 99 too, but already have the Singer Spartan, which is the same machine but without the decals and light. I love it for quilting, it is so simple and easy to use, and maintain. Heavier than a Featherweight, but takes up about the same storage space. And truly an affordable price compared to a featherweight. I found an inexpensive wheeled carrier for when I take it to quilting events.
