I did this to my machine over a year ago. I like it quite a bit for certain applications ... like quilting a straight line from corner-to-corner on a quilt block ... I found the batteries wear down rather quickly. DH re-wired it so that I can plug it into an outlet.

So if you use one of these laser lights to do straight line quilting for lets say half square triangles...doesn't the laser end up pointing at your chest??? How good is that??? Having worked in a factory with laser's on some machines we were told to always use the machinery with the cover on the lasers and NEVER allow it to touch any part of us. So I'm leary of this idea.
