Wow, very nice! Was it easy to convert it to a hand crank?

YAY!!! I did the same thing with my 1928 99...she needed a knee controller, and they are hard as hen's teeth to find. I also wanted a portable no-electric machine, so I put an open spoke handwheel and handcrank on her. She sews so quiet!! Wonderful and fun!!

Great minds think alike!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :D

One of my 99s is on my list for putting on a hand crank. Yours looks very nice!

Cute little gal. I like my no electric, foot powered gal myself - don't think my arms could take the crank but am happy for you.

I don't understand the hand crank, do you have to turn the wheel for every stitch and have the other hand to hold your pieces ?? I need both hands to hold my work and keep pieces together.
