In my sewing/guest room, I have a ceiling light with 3 bulbs but that actually is like behind where I am sewing and then I have a small portable on my table.
I like to have it to the left of me. But now that my project is getting bigger and taking that part of the table it seems that the right side just doest seem to be ok.
So if you have to use a lamp to sew with where is it best for you?
