or you could train yourself to activate the presserfoot lift bar with your left hand......I do realize that I use my left hand for sewing interchangably with my right....sometimes people ask if I am right handed or left handed...but I have only been burned by my 301A once, about 50 years ago.

It runs off a battery and has a magnet on the end sticks on the machine - has a goose neck with bulb on the other end - check the sewing department -
I'd love one made as a replacement bulb but I don't know what there would be for that.

OK, I've seen those battery powered magnetic ones. I thought you meant as replacements for the regular bulbs.
I'll bet they're out there though. They're making LED automotive bulbs now, so small appliance bulbs can't be far behind if they aren't out already.

Well, I've already got a 2nd degree burn on my hand from the bulb in my HOTHER, so what ever an LED type bulb would cost it would be worth it to prevent more burns.
I've not seen any of that type for sewing machines yet, but I'll keep my eyes out and let you know what I find.

I burn my hand just like that on my 15, and do the reach around, to often fould the threading up, of course the harp area is always full...also have had bulds burn the fabric ,,
but then I can tell you what It feel like to have a needle hit the bone and slide down the side of it .. These evil machines are smarter than I
