I LOVE my 99-K!!! it sews the most perfect straight stitch of any machine I use- I use it as my (travel) machine because it is not computerized- less chance of anything happening to it when I take it places & it's easy to maintain/service- I love using it for quilt projects with lots of pieces- (like a lonestar) because I can piece the most accurate seams with it. and I picked it up in pristine condition for $20! it is the best $20 I've ever spent.
