I just bought an old sewing machine here on this board and am awaiting her arrival. It's a Singer 99K. It looks great and she says it runs. Doesn't have extra bobbins though. I think I get the machine with the one bobbin and the case only. Need to find more bobbins though. Don't know if I need any extras or if there are any extras. I've never bought a used machine before but this was a good price for me. So, is mine a featherweight?
Sorry but no she is not but she is termed a 3/4 size machine. I have a 99K and love her just as much as my featherweights. The 99K was made in Clydebank Scotland, the Kilbowie the site of the factory.
I hope you enjoy her too.
