Nice thing is you aim them to point right where you are focusing with your eyes. I use it any time I have to use the seam ripper as aging eyes need more light. Some like a jewelers light actually have a magnifying glass attached. Ann in TN
I LOVE headlamps! Especially for quilting in dark corners when others are watching TV. As for the lighted seam ripper, I prefer to use my "halo" lamp, which is a round fluorescent light with a magnifying glass in the center and use a regular seam ripper or razor blade.
Just an FYI, has anyone heard of using navy thread on black so you can see your stitches if you have to rip them out? It does help!
