    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.

    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.
    I love my life!

    Mine is on my sewing table getting deeper and deeper under fabric. (Red face here) I'll have to get it out.
