I bought one - can't remember where but it would not work/fit on any of my machines. If someone could tell us about an adjustable one that works I would kiss them! My eyesight is not good to start with and sewing on the machine doesn't help! (At least that is the excuse I use for not always keeping to a 1/4" seam!)

i used one years ago. maybe got it from Nancy's Notions or Clotilde. most places carry them now. they stick onto the machine. my eyes weren't good but not bad enough for bifocals then and i needed something.

If you have a Bernina, they make a set that attaches to the machine. It has 3 different glasses at 3 different strength and I love mine! They are fairly expensive here about $60 but well worth it to me.

If you wear glasses, you might consider clip-on spectacle magnifiers. I use them for my cross stitch but they also work when I'm sewing.

sometimes quilt shops have them i think mine was called magna-stitch and it had a sticky thing that made it stick in place on my machine and then it tilted where i wanted it. not sure on the name though its been a long time i need one for my new machine im getting really blind.
