I did the same thing! I agree - JUNK. Have been looking at the good ones on Sewing with Nancy online store but I bookmarked the link given here.....much better price. Thanks!

I have one and really like it. The light shines right down on the needle so I can see better.

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.

Yes, the fishing light was mentioned before, but no details. I asked for some, as I have no clue what this is ... so would you please tell? And perhaps even, a picture?

Thank you!

Is this it?

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.

Ditto!!!

Thanks so much for this tip!!!!!!! I have needed a light, but didn't want to pay big bucks for one. I will be headed to WalMart in the morning!
