You can't tell that you have left a few fabric threads between the stitches when you are backstitching...
So what do you do- go and get tested for some reading glasses- which is just what I did a few months back. But... I have still found it difficult to stitch at night. I have been using a halogen floor lamp and even with the new glasses I just wasn't happy. So last week I saw this lamp ( on sale at 40% off the day I was looking) and bought it. It is just wonderful ......

So what is so good about it- well it has a bright white light over a wider area ( my halogen lamp cast more of a dull yellowish light in the one spot in comparison.)
I'm delighted with my purchase and am enjoying being able to clearly see what I am working on!
It might help me to work a bit faster on some of my handstitching...

Great to read this Lyn... I have been wondering about one but not convinced it makes such a difference... now I know so it will go on my wish list....
