4/22/2023 0 Comments What year is my singer 99k![]() I also realized what a powerful machine I have in that 99K! In haste over the weekend, I bought a tension dial for the 66/99 singer - which I can now keep as a spare (if anyone needs a tension dial - let me know). I am ecstatic to let everyone know that last night I had the 99K making an almost perfect stitch by adjusting and manipulating the tension screw on the bobbin case. I've learned that the tension dial is exactly as it should be and that my issue was really with the tension screw on the bobbin case itself. Once I got my featherweight in a good running state, I decided to tackle the 99K. ![]() I've watched endless numbers of videos on YouTube and various sites. Having a featherweight has been a terrific learning experience for me. Next, you need to loosen the first screw, lowering it to the bottom of the slot. Step 2 lose the screw and move it to the bottom. It is indicated on the numerals stitch indicator plate on the SINGER machine. I was lucky enough to get a featherweight 221 a few years ago that I use as a backup to my Pfaff Performance (which I LOVE - I've always been a Pfaff person). You need to adjust the machine to make a range from 6 to 30 stitches within an inch. ![]() I saw what I thought was a missing/broken tension dial with extremely poor stitching quality (the old naive me). I received this 99K over 5 years ago and quickly put it off to the side thinking I had been given junk. This machine is a piece of ingenuity! This forum (QB in general) has been a wealth of knowledge. Update - I've done some research and testing on my with my 99K.
