Where to get a carrying case for a Singer 99?
 

I've found replacement cases for the Featherweights, but haven't found them for a Singer 99. Anyone know who might carry them? Thanks.

I have one and need a case, as well. Anybody know where to find one?

Other than a lucky find somewhere or an old sewing machine shop with lots of goodies, the only place I've found for cases is:

The one I'm gonna buy to try is the: Carrying Case, Flat Bed #P60218. It's got an adapter in it so it will work with the full or 3/4 size machines.
I have not yet found any source of decent wooden cases.

Thank you! I'm interested in utility, and this will work well if I buy a 99.

Does anyone know if there is a wood plans for sewing machines cases.

If you're on Facebook, scroll down to Jan 23rd & see a prototype pattern that Among Brenda's Quilts is working on, not sure if it would help you or not. https://www.facebook.com/amongbrendasquilts

That's not a bad looking carry case, for a lightweight machine. I don't think it would work too good for a cast iron heavyweight though.

I am also looking for a case or bed for my 99K * 99 * 185K

Singer 185K
 

I posted just a bit ago for the Singer 99K carrying case or base ... has anyone tried if these machines would fit in a 221 case? I also have a 99 & 185K

thanks

No, they won't. A 99 or a 185 are 3/4 size machines. A 221 is a half size machine so they're nowhere even close to the same size.

I found a case, in pretty good shape, for a 99K a few years ago at a garage sale for $15. Plus.......... it came with a nice 99K inside!

A case for the 99 or 185 doesn't turn up that often, at least not with out a machine. I have seen two or three types of cases for these (except for the plastic case some 185 comes in); the early type is a black suit case type where one of the sides come off and inside there is a 99 in a dark oak lacquered base. It can be covered in something that look like black crocodile or snake skin, or more plain surface pattern.

The later (two) types are often two tone in cream and burgundy (upholstered with pvc on woven cotton), the top is fitted to the base with a clean on each side of the short sides. There is one version with straight angles and sides, making a rectagular box shape; on the other version he sides on the lid is slightly tapered towards the top. As far as I know they are made of relatively sturdy plywood, usually in good condition even 50 or more years old. Sometimes the outer upholstery look a bit worn. They are covered in a type of pvc treated woven cotton. With the right tools available and a bit of skill making one should not be an impossible DIY project.

Helen Howes has a few, but I guess postage and packing is a bit prohibitive to the US.

I would think a plastic Spartan case should fit it, but they are very brittle by now. Probably not good more more than a dust cover.
