Magnifier to attach to machine
Hi All, I searched this site before asking, couldn't find an answer except what was specific for Bernina. I can't see to thread my machine and even the needle threader doesn't help because the little hooks are so tiny I can't see where to place the thread. I already wear glasses. Do you know of a magnifier that I can attach that will work for that specific area? Many thanks!

Long ago i got one that stuck to my machine and it helped a lot. maybe Nancy's notions, or keepsakequilting or even Annie's attic which used to be Clotilde's. My eyes were changing and I wasn't ready for bi-focals yet. Good luck.

What kind of machine do you have? I have an Ott lamp that has an adjustable magnifying glass. Maybe that would work for you.
|
Janome 7700. The lighting on the machine is good, just need magnification. Thanks ladies, I'll check out your suggestions.

I may look a little silly but I like the headband that has a light and swivel down magnifier glass on it. Keeps your hands free and works great when my eyes are getting tired. Get them at hobby stores or small tool shops.

I have the set of magnifiers for my Bernina. I think they have generic lights and magnifiers at Walmart. You might also check the eyeglass section to see if they have any stick on ones there.

i have a set of magnifiers for my horizon 8900....they're janome branded so you might check and see if they fit the 7700..it's the same basic body---they attach to the back near the needle of the machine......

Thank you gshalom - I was hoping if there was something particular for Janome, someone would know. That is exactly what I need, something near the needle.
|
Darn, I just read about the magnifier for the 8900 and it won't fit the 7700. Ok, off to google everyone's suggestions!
|
I have a magnifying glass with a big lite. Got it at Walmart about 10 years ago. Not sure if they have them now. Worth a shot to google magnifiers.
