This is a good machine to get it, is made in India by the SK Sharma and sons company. You can still get them brand new and in different colors like Purple. But if I felt like going there I would get it but I am already going to Jackson TN and my vacation home this weekend picking up machines.

The 99k came in a cabinet (bad finish), and I was thinking I could use the top off that and put that on the treadle base, making whatever modifications I would need to make it fit over the legs properly. I don't like the color of the cabinet, so also had the idea to paint it all a nice glossy black, maybe with some gold details (kind of like on the machine itself). I figure if I have to cut off the legs or remove a side, I might as well make it a color I like. Any ideas? I'm wondering if my day dreaming is getting to be too big a project! :) How much glossy black is too much?? The hand crank would definitely be easier.

Bennett why don't you strip the cabinet top and restain and finish it? Glenn has a tutorial on here somewhere. I have done that with several cabinets. They come out looking great and I think the wood look will probably last longer than the glossy black look. In fact, we bought a Wheeler & Wilson that someone had painted the cabinet black at one time and painted the irons gold. We stripped the cabinet and completely re-finished it - it came out beautiful!

Hello fellow vintage lovers. I really have to go to the VSMG and get a little screw. The tiny little piece of wire-type metal that holds the thread above the needle flung off. I don't know if the screw broke or fell out or even came with it. It's such a tiny, tiny screw. Since I don't have it, I can't measure it and figure out how tiny it is to try and order one from sew-classic. So, this leads me to a question, is it ok to quilt it if that little thingy isn't on there? Is it going to mess up anything in the machine if it's not on there? I'm not sure when I can get back to the shop or if he'll have the right one on hand. He says he has a ton of small ones. The one he gave me to replace it is really tiny, but still too big for the hole.

I have some projects that need quilted before the end of the month. I want to get on these soon. Managed to get some basted the other day, but need more spray, pins, and pain free moments to get on the floor and finish the rest.

Nancy,

"Go Advanced", "Manage Attachments" You should get a pop up that has a button that says "Choose File"

Click on that and choose the file from your computer to upload.

Do you have popups blocked?
