Finished the cabinet and Singer 99k.
 

Hubby put the cabinet all back together and we set the machine in again. I think it refinished nicely! Now I want to do some piecing with her. She's still nameless, any suggestions?[ATTACH=CONFIG]308119[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]308120[/ATTACH]

Cute! I have a 99 in the same cabinet, but it is in much rougher shape. I'm in the process of figuring out what I want to do with it. Very nice job on the cabinet!

I like those little 99s - looks nice and you have a very nice cabinet - usually see those in a case.

It looks great!! Are there any "before" pics of the cabinet?

Beautiful. I think her name is Ruth.

No, I don't have any before pictures. The cabinet was solid and looked pretty good, except the top had water damage and was very rough. We chose a darker stain color. The machine only needed some polishing up and a cleaning and of course oiling.

thats a realy nice machine i have the same one in a desk just like yours i love sewing with it its nice and smooth and powerfull to. DH has been using mine to peice his first quilt top.

She looks like a Lily...to me. So pretty

I like Ruth, too!! I love the 3/4 size cabinets for the 99s...really cute!

jillnjo,
She's beautiful! The cabinet looks terrific, too. Good job hubber.

Since you choose to put your avatar quilt on her for her photo shoot, maybe 'Ava' would be appropriate???

best,
deb

beautiful restoration! Why not call her Natalie?

Maybe she is a he. How about Newbee? After all your husband redid the cabinet didn't he? ha. Barny P.s. He is handsome too!

Name for your 99
 

I have a 99K which also needs a name. Since he is so heavy and cute, I have decided to name him "Thomas, the Tank".

How about Pearl - like Pearl of great price and a lot of work

Beautiful job. I would call her "half-pint"

she looks great, good job.

excellent job-

Looks great, the cabinet look good. I have a cabinet just like that, only I changed out the knob. It has a wooden know and I put a metal on on. Mine has a Necchi BF in it though.

ninety nine is a good name like R2D2 and C3PO

mine are 301A, 1630, 634DEV and 54

well any Singer could be named Mario or Elvis or.................Ringo

Love it!! You did a terrific job!! :)

beautiful job on the cabinet. nellie comes to mind for a name.

Now, that is too funny!:D:D.....but a great idea! You all are tickling my funnybones with your good ideas on names- I'm gonna choose one of them!!

Oh there are opera singers, rock singers, it is endless!!!

She is nice! I have a 99k that was given to me.. She is now called JuJu after Art's wife.... Judy. But I was thinking on calling her Midgie after all she is only 3/4 size so I thought of Midget... my JuJu is in the carry case.

Yep, they are neat little machines. I have one in a cabinet, cabinet is not all that nice, but the machine sews so nicely. Yep, you have a nice one.

She is so cute sitting on her pretty cabinet. How about calling her "Little Bit"?

They look so nice! What color stain did you use? I like all the name ideas too!

Can you tell me a little more about the cabinet? I have the 99k and I just love it. I didn't know there was a cabinet for it. Mine is the portable one. Would ebay be the best place to look for one? Love hearing about everyone's 99k's.

I found this machine in the cabinet at a local re-run store. I'm not familiar with the many details concerning vintage machines! I've been told the 99s are seldom in cabinets, but don't know why, ect. The cabinet is made of hardwood with a veneer on it.

The stain is American Colonial in a gel form. It looks similiar to a light walnut.

Jack...............

Grandma- that's a great idea, but Jack is our dog's name and I can't be calling for 2 things at the same time! !:confused: :shock:

Thanks, I was thinking some kind of Cherry. . .

I agree, they are a neat little machine.
 

How great to have a finished machine 99K. I have a nice little 99, I really need to refinish the cabinet though.

I've been doing some peicing with my 99 and it runs so nicely! These old machines just grow on me and I don't have room for them!! I'm almost sure I'll drag another one home one of these days.
Deedum, I don't know if I'd get anything refinished myself, but hubby enjoys it, so I benefit!!
