Beautiful!!! How will you stencil the logo??

I am cutting my own stencil. Copy the Singer logo from another case. Just using brilliant gold paint and a stencil brush with a little shellac over it to protect it and it looks just like the original Glenn

Rose, the knob just above the badge is the stitch length adjust, screw it clockwise(in) for longer stitch and counterclockwise to make stitch smaller Glenn

:) :) Thanks so much Glenn. I don't have a book on how to use this machine. The manual that I have seen online shows the 99 with a lever.

Thanks, Glenn....I have the same machine and was wondering about that knob!!!! It pays to read the updates on these vintage machine pages!

Just lovely Glenn! I have a case like that to my latest ...99 it is in need of work. someone I think pried the case off and I am thinking I will have to get some hindge like closures to fix it. I will post a picture of it soon. The 99 is posted a page back. It needs some parts. Hoping she works!
Rose, take a pic of the under side of the top so I can see the front and back hardware so I can check out the damage. I don't know why people pry the case open when a small flat head screwdriver will unlock the case. Glenn
