The Sewing Machine Light:


  • The sewing machine light is vital to prevent eye fatigue.

  • The light bulb usually has a long life but when it does stop working it is advisable to replace it as soon as possible.

  • The bulb required for your machine is usually unique and you may need to order it from a repair service.

  • External lights like the one shown, have a separate power switch and require it to be turned on independently from the machine motor.
