Hi everyone! So I am SO excited to share this post with you. A dear friend of mine thought of me when she came across this Singer 99k Sewing Machine. She asked me if I wanted it because it was going to be discarded and I told her to not let that machine get away! I am usually a Husqvarna Viking and Juki girl, but I love all things vintage and could not say no to this gem.

This is such a find! After some research I found out this machine was manufactured in 1954 and only about 40,000 of these machines were made. This machine was made in Europe, and was built to last. There are actually quite a few people who have come across these and taken upon themselves to restore the machine back to working order. This machine had been sitting for a while (based on the condition of some of the parts), but none the less, she still works. And from what I have seen, once a machine like this is in working order, it puts all the more modern machines to shame. From demos on various machines like this one and ones even older, even with a straight stitch only, can sew through 3-4 layers of leather. This machine is no joke! So with this rare opportunity, I decided, with the help of my dad, to get this machine back to working order.
