What a good idea! DH has one and uses it all the time camping and around the house. Like working under the sink. I never thought of borrowing it to sew...will have to try it out. My only light is on the other side of the room and sometimes, it is just not enough.

I, too, have the cataract thing going in both eyes (not ready to be taken care of) and use an Ott light for everything. Hand quilting, at the sewing machine, reading. Pretty much, if I need a light I flip the switch on my Ott light. It makes a tremendous difference for me. I couldn't sew or do handwork without it.

No, as my dgd says, you look like a lovely unicorn. I'm off to get a couple because they are so inexpensive.

For those of you who have arthritic hand problems, try rubbing them with Aspercreme before you start quilting. It has made a big difference for me with hand quilting, crocheting, etc. The Aspercreme is non-greasy and soaks right into the skin. I use it all the time and have never had a problem with it being greasy.
