Sewing black on black
I am in process of making a Jacobs Ladder in reds & black. In joining the rows I cannot see whether they are lined up even or not! Any hints on this problem or is it just my old eyes & bad lighting? Thanks for any suggestions ladies!

My Bernina has LED or similar lights and I love it! When working on black I also clip on my Bernina magnifying lens set. As other have mentioned perhaps an OTT light at your machine might help. They do sell little adjustable lights that clip onto your glasses now for sewing also.
Try pinning at the seams since you can feel the lump of the seam allowances.

Sometimes I also take my chalk marker & run it along places that I need to match up. Especially if I'm doing black on black machine appliqué. I'm not sure if that would help with your current problem or not.
