This is a great idea. Thanks, Lyncat. It never occurred to me that they might make LED bulbs for an old model machine like this, which is a Kenmore 18023 from the 1970's. I know I could get a strip light for it, but I'm a little concerned that a bulky quilt would rub against it if it's in the throat area of the machine, and anywhere else it would just add shadows. The bulb that's in it is bright enough, but doesn't provide light in the general area, just around the needle. An LED bulb would be much cooler, and that would be a definite improvement.
