Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I have heard others say the Beam n' Read is a great light. (I don't have to worry about the endowment problem!) I like the idea of the LED lights that clamp onto glasses but have not seen them yet. I'll have to look them up for reviews. And why didn't I think to check out JoAnn's since I get their coupons? Thanks everyone! I need to do something about this problem soon or I will be sewing my project to my clothing or having to ask someone to thread my needles. I hate when I do either of those things.
