I saw some great sewing machine lights at the craft show, but thought they were a bit pricey. Plus one was battery operated, the other required a power point.
I like the idea of some extra light, but would prefer something rechargeable. I thought I might find something suitable at Jaycar, and I finally got there for a look on Saturday. At first when I explained what I was looking for the guy in the store didn't think they had anything- other than battery charger or requiring a power point! But then he said " well we do have this, would it work?"
It is a small detachable light in a beanie (like a headlamp), about the size of a matchbox, but not very thick, and sooo light weight. You can see the size in the last photo, it fits in the 5cm square.
I stuck a piece of sticky backed Velcro on my, sewing machine ( the soft side) and the matching ( prickly) bit to the light. Quick and easy on and off, and the light is do good I didn't even notice the next day when the globe went on the machine!!! ( Talk about perfect timing!)
It cost $20 and recharges in 4 hours in a USB charger, perfect!
What a great sewing accessory! I use a USB rechargable light from Spotlight for when I'm sewing - especially on the treadle as it doesn't have a light.
ReplyDeleteI have 2 rechargeable triumph lamps as well but they temd to get used by everyone else in my house and are often flat when I go to use them! I love that this one is so small and fits on the sewing machine so well!
