It's a stick-on, not a magnet

I have one on all my machines (3) and love it.
Try googling it for a better price - I got mine online for alot less, can't remember where

It does really make a difference in seeing your work. I didn't believe it would make that much of a difference--it does!

I have one and love it!!! Nice bright light that not only helps with my sewing but should I need to do....um...frog stitching I can bend it to light up that area. :)

I have one of the bendable lights and love it. I don't know how I got along without it for so long. I also bought an extra holder to attach to my small machine that I take to classes and for sewing with friends. If you can afford one, I highly recommend it. :lol:

I got one, too, but found it in the fishing department, if your store still has a fishing department :)

I have one and love it. Wonder how I did without it. Before I got it, I used the portable Ott light which I didn't like as well plus it takes up too much room.

I have one and I really like it. It is out of my way at all times. It shines directly on the needle. Makes it easier to see where I am going. I have the Ott lights but they seem to be in the way of my fabric when it is right behind the machine. JMHO

Thkx I will be looking for one...sounds like it is just what I need.

I have one and I love it. It is exactly like the one that SewAlice gave a link to. I paid $40. for mine about 2 months ago, and I don't know how I managed without it. I would have much rather paid $29. for it. :)

I have bad eyesight, but I would like this even if my eyes were young and healthy!
