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.

Thanks so much. I plan to order it.

That is great. I've figured out the darning plate but can't figure out what the darning foot is. I don't see it in the manual either. I must be missing something! I'm saving this website to refer to it.

the feed dog cover is not in the manual because it was sold seperately in small flat box with the singer logo. if you do not find the separate instruction sheet go to the singer website

Looks to be in great shape (well taken care of). A piece of family history that you are now the caretaker of. How wonderful , I wish I had my Grandmothers Singer. sigh

I have a 99K made in 1956 in Scotland too!! I bought it on ebay for $90 and it was in perfect condition. I sew with it almost daily. However, I don't have any of those wonderful attachments. You are truly blessed!!!

My husband repairs and cleans vintage sewing machines.
(newer models too) He brought home several old Singer machines from a garage sale and one of them is a 99K.
He cleaned it, oiled it, and that machine sews beautifully.
It's the best one.
If I didn't have so many sewing machines, this would be my next one to pc. quilts with. They are awesome machines!
