New light for my sewing machine
 
1 Attachment(s)
I went to the Dollar Store and bought a light for my mini refrigerator, worked great, however, as I turned around I spotted my sewing machine and said to myself, "Now that's where this light belongs". I attached it with a small piece of sticky back velcro tape.

So now I have to go back to the store and buy another one for my frig.

That looks great. I may have to find one of those.

Very cool, I need to get some of them. Thanks for posting it.

Oh I need to get to the Dollar Store! I need one of those lights! When I'm using the 1/4" foot with the guide my machine light causes a shadow right at the end of the guide which drives me nuts!! Don't want to pay $15 or $20 for one either! Thanks for the tip!

Love this. I can never have too much light. More, more, more!

I have to ask, Which Dollar Store? We have several that are $1, but by different names.... Dollar Store, GreenBacks, 99cent, etc....

Those lights are good for short term use. They don't last long at all. The battery doesn't hold up. It's cheaper to buy a new light then the battery. I have looked for a bright long lasting light that does not plug in as I have limited power outlets at most workshops and classes. I haven't found one yet that doesn't get dim after a couple of hours.

Dollar Tree

because of the long flexible wire I can bend it right into the area I want.
