invest in a better one than i got. the idea is awesome! |
I have one and really like it. The light shines right down on the needle so I can see better.
|
I have one and I love it! BUT check out HomeSew.com because they have them a lot cheaper.
|
I have one & use it all the time. Make sure you get it in a good place or it won't be a help. (ask me how I know!)

I found two booklites at Costco for $15.00.(in one package) They have clips on them to clip to a book but I just clip one to the plastic table that is on my machine. Putting in new batteries makes them much brighter. They are also bendable.

Thank you! Is this it? http://www.fishingtackleforum.com/fe...-fishing-light or this one? http://www.led-flash-lights.com/Coas...source=froogle |
I have a bendable light attached to my machine and I really do not know how i was able to sew without it. it is so bright and I would recommend to everyone. It was about $40.00, but it is supposed to work for around 100,000 hours, so I believe I will get my monies worth. go for it.

I have one of the bendable light and love it.I never sew without it. I mounted mine with a command poster mount and it is great. I too have a computerized and didn't want to mess that up.
|

I bought one from a small quilt shop paid a little more than 40.00, love the direct light that it shines but how does everyone keep it attached to their machine? The sticky square that came with it does NOT hold! It falls off after a few hrs!
|
funny, I just got one. went on a sewing retreat and several of the gals had them. I checked it out good and came home and got one. love it. at night the spot where my machine is has so-so light. now it doesnt. yea!!! $40 is good. I paid $50 and thought it well worth it.

I do have an ott light by my machine but this little light looks like it will shine right down on the needle area. Any help will be appriciated. Thanks.

I love mine, have two of them. They are on sale right now on www.sew4less.com for $24.99. I buy from them often and they are very reliable if anyone is interested. They are usually right at $50.00 in the LQS's.

So if your sticky has quit ... just purchase some more. Look for the sticky that has some foam on it, and also look for one that refers to it being super-sticky! |
Yes I have it and love it!
Besides using it for sewing, I also use it to shine on my face to tweeze eyebrows and chinny chin chin hairs ... I keep a magnifying mirror nearby. Works great for seeing those frustrating hairs, LOL. So mine gets double duty. |
I love the extra light but cannot keep it on my machine, did yours come with sticky square tabs to stick it on?

That is where I bought mine! It is the lowest price I've seen them. I LOVE mine. One of my favorite "notions."

I have a bendable light from Ikea that I could not do without. It was $39 but well worth it. When our Ikea opens in Denver, I shall look for the cheaper one.
|
Is this light at Amazon the same as the light from Quilting Warehouse?
http://www.amazon.com/DREAM-WORLD-IN...dp/B0018VDNEU/ |
That is the light that I have. Tomorrow I will go to one of the few stores in my tiny town and try a command product to hold it on the sewing machine...
U paid a great price! Kathy |

I too would like to know about the tab, the sticky to hold it on my sewing machine did not hold and used every one of the tiny sticky squares still after 2 days slid off of the top or side tried both places.

Just bought the Command strips hope these hold that tiny light on!
No Joanns sad to say anywhere near me so won't look at that light! KK |
Yea, I had trouble with some of my little sticky holders too. Still have a couple of them hanging on one of my machines. I do love the light though!! It's great for taking to guild or sewing places that don't have very good lighting!
|
A friend of mine who is also a quilter, bought the light and she loves it. It attaches right to the machine by the needle. I have not got one yet, but may.
|
So what is the cureall for making it stay if the strips don't hold? Command Strips were mentioned; are they sold separately elsewhere? Not familiar with them so what are they initially used for? I want the light but don't want to order until I know all details.
Thanks! |
I agree, I do find after putting the Command sticky things on that if when I am thru for the day if I take the stress off by winding the stretch wire thingy on the top of the machine. It rests there and does not hang as when it is on and being used.. Does that make any sense????

I love my Ott Light - goose neck works great
