That's just fantastic. I hope it can stay in your family for many generations. I had given it to my son not even knowing what it was but he wasn't using it (he had thought he might use it for light mending but he's not really a sewer), so now it's back! O.K. with me now that I will probably use.

You have the darning plate!! That means you can FMQ on the machine if you so desire!! Also it is in a cabinet and they are worth just as much as the machine is.

Congratulations on such a wonderful piece of history!!

Billy, she not only has the darning plate, she's got the darning "foot" to go with it! That's what the spring thingie is! :)

And yes! I use my attachments...I love the darned things! :)

Yeah Charlee I found out I have a couple of the darning feet here in some of the boxes of stuff out in the garage. I really need to go through all of it but that was in a box next to my industrial.

Billy and Charlee, how fun to hear of these attachments. I may try to study them (they are in the manual I have) and play with them. I looked for the darning foot but didn't think I saw one with the other attachments. I guess I'll look again! You both saw them so I'm excited. :thumbup:

Miswrote. I meant I didn't see the darning plate. There is one kind of round, flat plate but I couldn't see how it attached. Maybe that was it.

Wow, it's great that you remembered about this 99! I highly recommend this book, to learn how to use your attachments:

I have it and it has wonderful color pictures and great instructions for using the attachments. Sometimes the pictures in the manuals are difficult to read.

They have a free one on the Smithsonian website if you want to look at it. Here is the link for you.
