I don't know if you folks in the US are acquainted with Lee Valley Tools. Up here it is a well known woodworking store. My Dh got me a multi-positionalbe fluorescent lamp that clamps to my sewing table. Best of all, it has a magnifying glass in the center. I cannot count the number of times I have used it to see and remove pesky little stitches that hide themselves in the weave of the cloth.
