I'm looking into buying myself a better sewing machine. I have heard alot of people say that the best ones are the old fashioned heavy metal ones. I LOVE the fact that they are usually so pretty too!!! 

So, I've seen a Singer 99k that looks suitable but I'd like some feedback on this machine from anyone who owns one. Do they sew both mohair and plush well?

Any feedback would be appreciated....

Hi.  I don't have a Singer 99K, but do have a Singer Featherweight.  They are fairly similar to each other.  I have sewn just about everything you can imagine on my featherweight, and it is a a wonderful machine.  It sews all thicknesses of mohair without any problems, and I use it for the majority of my bearmaking.  I would imagine that you would get similar results from the 99K.  The featherweight makes perfect 1/4" seams, and is very easy to use.  Best of luck to you.
