LED lights that stick on the machine and you can cut to length. I installed one on Jilly the Janome this evening in just a few minutes.
Ah, the trials of growing older.

Let there be light!
Three years ago I had cataract surgery on both eyes, I even sprung for multi-focal implants. My eyes are MUCH improved BUT there are times when I just need more light than I used to.
This is one of them. My studio seems bright but it isn't, or at least not bright enough. The worst of it was trying to thread a needle on the machine-especially with black thread. So I went looking for more light-keep in mind I have an OTT light and a smaller lamp on each machine- I didn't want another lamp. They get in the way and still don't light the machine well. I ended up ordering two of these.

This is what I got. I haven't tried a black thread yet but it seemed much easier to sew tonight. I still need to add overhead lights to the studio but I haven't found ones I like yet.

That’s a brilliant idea! I need to do that on my machine. The overhead light is quite soft and my current set up is facing a wall instead of the window when I’m in the sewing room. Clouds passed over the other day and it was dark. Clever you!
Works really well but don't you have a threaded on the machine ?
Oh yes, you cant beat good light. Hope the LED strips did the trick.
They look like a great idea. xx
