Default Why did I wait so long

Last winter I purchased a Bendable Bright Light that was on special at Missouri Quilt Company. I am a sucker for gadgets. Anyway, after I bought it I just let it sit on my station in the original package. Hadn't even opened it. I always thought my Ruby Deluxe had enough light along with the lighting in my studio. This week I was working on a quilt where I was sewing black on black with black thread. I thought that maybe the light would help. Help it did! Now I can't sew without it. Being that it is bendable, I can point it at the needle - where is usually is pointed - or move it so I can see the fabric edges that I am trying to meet.

Yes, that is the one. I bought it when Missouri Quilt Company had it on special for about $19.

When sewing on black, I put black in the bobbin and a dark gray on top. Just getting old.

I love my bendable light. I purchased additional bases & move it from machine to machine. I also purchased from Quilting Warehouse.

I bought one from MSQC just recently when it was one of their daily deals. Third time I turned on the light, the light blew out. Disappointed in the product.

I purchased one that sits on the table, it was only $15.99 and has a really long neck. It is awesome as it really focuses a lot of light on the sewing area, but is not in the way. It has an iron base so it stays put.

I couldn't do without my bendable bright light. I have one on most of my machines or I have the adapter on it were I can move it. Been using them for several years and haven't had a bulb burn out yet.

My brand new light did that! DH checked the electrical socket and found it was bad. I'm glad the light blew first before my machine! Sockets do wear out.
