Wander into your local $ store and look for led lights that have a flat profile, much like the same in the picture below
These are all battery operated and being LED lights will last for a long time. They can be adhered to the harp of our Bailey with mounting tape. I suspect that the two way tape will be too light because of the machine's vibration but if you have some in your stash give it a try. Remember to mount them so that they shine down onto your fabric, not on the back of the harp which will eventually cover them as you roll up your quilt.
Now you will have light at the needle and light over the immediate area that your machine is traveling. If you remove the lights and you have stuck them to your machine with mounting tape, don't fret-- peel it off and then with a little goop gone the sticky residue is gone. In a pinch you could use gasoline, but with all that fabric in the immediate area.................. all I can say is I hope you are not a smoker!
The good news is if you are not sure you want them there you have only waste a few dollars and are able to use them elsewhere in the house, for instance your fabric closet!
Even better if the power goes out, you have a light to sew by and if you have a generator............. Well need I say more!
Note to post
Another Bailey owner ( Carol) tells me she added the strip led lights to her Bailey, cutting them to length and adding and 12v ac adapter...
