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!

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.
