Singer 99K-13, Pristine
 

Nice. Now we need a range report ............... oh, uh wrong forum LOL We need a sewing report. Yeah, that's what we need :D


Joe

Ready on the stitching line!

Ready on the treadle ............... Ready on the hand crank!

Some Triflow will take off the tape goo. Looks like a pretty one!!!

Pretty machine! :)

That's good to know.

Joe

figured it out by accident...

Thanks Miriam. I'm going to try it also on a cabinet that has some tape goo.

Actually did sew on some binding to a quilt today, pieced a couple of OBW blocks, trimmed two quilts for binding. But that was after running around fetching DH some fishing stuff, getting groceries, the list goes on and on. Got so many false starts around here it is nigh impossible to complete anything. Finally found my jug of Evaporust though. Major accomplishment!:D.

Miriam,

I've learned more "by accident" than on purpose. Seems to stick with me more too.

Joe

Nice machine!

Snazzy little thing, and in such nice condition! And thanks for the closeup of the serial number. I just figured out where a "leftover" washer goes from when I was cleaning mine! (Left it off the bobbin winding thread guide). :)

Great looking machine! Love all the attachments!!

Beautiful machine, you were so lucky to find it,

I too have a (99K) and I love it, you will too.:thumbup:

Ain't that the truth??? I'm all for that, I think.

Very nice!

I recently purchased a 99K from a friend who got it on an auction. I do need to get a spool pin for it (the one it came with is bent a bit on the bottom), and I need extra bobbins for her. The light doesn't work, but Sally's motor purrs...I did plug her isna 'test-drove' without and fabric under the needle and she seems to do just fine. Now, if I can figure out how to get the bulb out and a new one in, I'd be home free. G'night, everyone!

Sew-classic has parts a free instruction manual (shows how to change the light) and lots of feet, bobbins, spool pins, bobbin tires, belts - you name it and she is easy to deal with.

Agree with Miriam about Sew-Classic. Will add that if the spool pin is not loose, they can be straightened.

Joe

I have straightened spool pins by placing an old thread spool on the pin and tapping it with a rubber mallet. But a nice new one is nicer.

Sooo Ms Miriam....I just got a 99K today at a local flea mkt...Happy to have it and am cleaning it...but what kind of Triflow are you all using??? I neverheard of it except on here and when I googled it there are several products. Where do you get it and what product do you use on these machines?? Thanks for your response

Congrats on the 99 - nice little machines - great for teaching kidos and they are a work horse of a little machine... I buy what ever Triflow Sew-Classic has - the grease gets used on gears and the oil on all the moving parts. Shake it well. It has teflon in it. Sewing machine oil these days has paraffin - Glenn recommends clock oil - he is into old clocks as well as old sewing machines. Sew-classic has some info on the Triflow as well as a better price than your local bicycle shop. I would not use the T-F spray.

Thanks you, another question on the 99's...do ALL low shank Singer attachments work with this...I have featherweight attachments that look like they would work, but comparing the presserfoot I can see a small difference...but one is a 1938...the 99 a 54..also have seen on ebay the snap on adjustment package with lots of low shank feet...does anyone know or have used this on the older singers???

I have found all but the newer low shank attachments should work. Yup the older ones are made a bit different. Use what you are comfortable with.

Beautiful machine and yet with all the accessories!! Wonderful.
