Although the regular light on my Bernina Aurora 440 sewing machine is pretty spectacular, I've noticed that sometimes it's getting harder for me to really see the stitching. Blame it on being middle aged and having the corresponding eyesight. Fortunately I remember seeing a lighting recommendation from Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville fame. She uses the Jansjo light from Ikea. So the last time that I was there I found one and brought it home for the very low price of $10 or so. Last night I set it up and was very impressed with the light. See for yourself.
This is with only the general lighting in the room at night. The sewing machine is turned off.
This is with just the sewing machine on.
Now this is with both the sewing machine light on and the Jansjo light turned on.
Do you see the difference? That nice spotlight that I can angle directly at the feed dogs helps tremendously. My eyes already are thanking me and Bonnie too. Now I need to get another one to take with me for classes. If you're ever near Ikea I can say that this is a fantastic buy.
