I'm using it now and I love it! unfortunately, I paid $50!!! for it! I saw it on line for this price, When I purchased it at the quilt shop, there wasn't a price tag on it. I threw it in with the other items I purchased. The cashier rang it up while I was talking to the owner. I didn't even hear the final cost of my merchandise As I gave her my CC. I went home and attached the light...THEN looked at my bill!!!! I couldn't' believe that I had paid that much for it!! Even though I love it, it isn't worth $50! Oh well, Shame on me! :( I pays to Pay attention to detail!

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.
