I second the recommendation for an LED bulb! I gave myself a nice little burn on the back of my hand before I took that advice for myself.
I was just tuning mine up last night, it's going on vacation with me this weekend. It's such a nice little machine to sew on - I don't use it regularly at home but every time I take it out and use it I'm reminded of how sweet it is. A wonderful little piecing machine. Congratulations on getting yours!
