I've been trying to get my Singer 99K working and failing miserably. The most I've been able to do is sew about an inch, then everything binds up and stops. The stitches on top look ok but the bottom is a complete mess and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'll try to take pictures tonight.
I know I have the machine threaded correctly. There's a part in the instructions where it talks about manually bringing the needle down to catch the bottom thread, then putting the fabric in and manually lowering the needle into it before sewing. That's where I think things are going haywire. I'm having to cut my test fabric out because thread ends up everywhere. It could be the bobbin tension but I doubt it since I bought it used and haven't changed any settings.
At this point I'm frustrated enough to go buy a cheap machine just to see if it's me or the machine.
