Now if I could only find a 3/4 treadle I would be in tall cotton.

Thanks for posting a picture of your sewing machine. Now I know what I have. It was my mom's and she has passed away and I never asked her exactly how old the machine was. It is my only machine and it works great. It's the only machine I know how to work! I am a new quilter and am looking to buy a new one. You are lucky to have found one, they work beautifully. I'll never give mine up.

Briarberry, if you go to Sew-classic and go to Jenny's blog you will finda whole history of your 99K. It is a work horse machine and perfect for quilting.
I am from Scotland and the 99K was made in Scotland.... that means a bunch to me
Have fun with it and happy quilting!!!

What a great find! It looks just like the ones we used in our home-ec classes when I was in high school. I learned a lot in those classes and always loved to sew, and always got straight "A's". Wish I had sone that well in math. ha ha Good luck in learning to use the attachments. I remember using the ruffler was fun

Nice find! These little machines rock. I gave one to my sister (miss modern machine) and she was very impressed with how fast and quiet it was. I have one in the fixer-up line for myself. Funny both of them are in cabinets when those seem harder to find for people. Enjoy yours!
