I bought mine in Paducah last week. So it is new for me, but so far I like it as it does shine where you put it (right on the fabric).

Thanks Ladies. I find your questions and advice priceless.

LOVE it...bought my mother in law one too.....only thing...don't point the light at your needle...strobe light effect....point just before....again...LOVE it.

ok my question is does your light stay 'steady' when you sew
the one I purchased and no longer use giggles and moves when I sew (withe the motion of the machine) and drove me nuts. Are the 'better' one heavier so they stay steady or what.....I really would also like one....but kinda thought they were all the same.

I love my bendible light, i have it on several machines. I have one light but ordered extra mounting kits, so that i can use it on several machines.

what about the ones for computers, especially laptops -- much cheaper

I don't have one that attaches to the machine, but have used bendable floor lamps before and absolutely LOVE them. So handy and easily portable.

this the one I have and I love it. I am working on a Dresden Fan and it great for SID between the blades.

Does the head light stay steady when you sew ???

I posted earlier that I have the bendable one that has been shown in several of the links provided here. While the light is good, sometimes it's too strong/bright and is beyond what is good for my eyes.

I do use it at times ... and to answer questions, I do not find it moves around while I sew. Stays put wherever I line it up. That is, til I knock it out of the way as I move fabric around! OOPS!!

Wondering ... what about the small book lights?
Have never had one, but just getting a little creative thinking here.
Anyone use one?
