Becoming an old geezer in my 50's...
I am beginning to want more light when I am sewing. I'm not equating this with advancing age, mind you. I just used to be stupid. It seems like someone was always bugging me about reading and sewing in better light. Now I need to take that advice. Sewing machines, old or new, never have enough light. Either my old Singer Featherweight or the newish Genome, it's still the same. I like the LED lighting on the new machines, but there is too little of it and it never seems to illuminate what I am doing. I have started rear lighting my sewing machine to illuminate my whole sewing platform table. I love the extra work space at throat plate level, but the machine light only shines, barely, on the presser foot. I usually end up placing my tabletop Ott light near my sewing machine. I have tried a couple of those little lights that attach to the machine, but they are inadequate as well. I have also stopped putting up with an inadequate light box....
