Everyone is doing so well here on clue 2! I have not been able to fit any sewing in yet today, but I'm hoping I'll be able to finish cutting out all of my geese pieces this evening.
The 99's are cute, but they are a solid, heavy machine. My 1955 99k in the cabinet has the other set of decals, with the eye and rectangular outside design. I also have a featherweight and a 301, and for a portable machine they are much easier to handle. One of the really cool things is that the feed dogs drop on the 301. There are rumors that Westalee is making a slant ruler foot and I am looking forward to that. I just do love my Singers, I know there are other manufacturers out there, but for some reason these old Singer machines really appeal to me.
