Look what I found at Ikea! It's ideal for giving me extra light by my sewing machine. Cost 10 pounds in the UK. And they also had a wonderful new range of pretty cotton fabrics - florals and polka dots in lovely colours, 150cm wide (about 60in) at 5 pounds a metre.

Lucky find. Looks like it will be very helpful.

Wonderful! Glad for you!

great, you can put the light where it's needed

Our guild bought several of these cute lights then sold them for a fundraiser.

That does look very handy!

What a cute littly bendy light. Nice find. I didn't know Ikea had fabric.

Thanks, I like it better than the ones that stick to only one machine...........

They also do a floor standing model, if you don't have much room on your worktable.

They've always done fairly thick, plain cottons, some of which worked as quilt backings, though some were too heavy. This new range is more like the usual quilt fabric weight and has pretty patterns too. (I'm in the UK - don't know if Ikea has the same range in the States).

Cute pink!!

I see you have a FW Singer. You can get a stronger light bulb to give you more light. I believe the originals were 15W and the new ones I bought are 25W and they are so much brighter.

Super, I had no idea Ikea had fabric. Well ours is a long way away from us so I have only been there once.

I couldn't resist the pink one! They do more neutral colours too.

That's good to know - thankyou. I'll get some of those some time. I've just bought a 201 which doesn't have a light, which is why I went looking for this one. The FW just happened to be out when I took the picture!

Ikea has fabric!!!!! Wow that is wonderful. I also love your light.

Well it has fabric in the UK, anyway!

Looks like a great sewing light.
