Has anyone used this light and then tried to remove it? Did it mess up the finish on your machine? Plastic? Metal? Painted?

RE:Changing Needles - I'd have to go with the rule about changing every 8 hours of sewing. The ONE PROJECT I'm working on now has at least . . . Hours and Hours of sewing in to just the piecing . . . 2 hours here - 6 hours there - 1 hour then - 3 hours later...you get the idea. I'm thinking about every 3rd bobbin would be 8 hours.

Another reminder (especially if using an OLDER machine) - remember to OIL it while using it frequently or after non-use. I believe the instructions on my Wonderful Singers say once a day with heavy use. I can hear the difference after I oil it.
