You will have to lighten the pressure on the presser foot, and probably ease up on your top tension, and you may have to adjust the bobbin tension, but I'm here to tell you that it can be done. I think you could do the same on the 99.
BTW, I do have the feed dog cover, and I prefer to work without it.

I love your collection! They are all so beautiful to look at :-D I someday want to paint an old dilapidated machine and I can't decide on color, maybe red or fushia or lime green.
I know!!!! This board is filled with 'enablers' :mrgreen: I can tell myself....'No more machines!' and then I come and see everyone elses collections and before you know it I am answering ads on Craigslist and bidding (and winning) on machines on eBay :shock:
