Hey y'all! Does anyone know anything about replacing light bulbs on sewing machines? I have a Viking Selectronic 6570 and the light bulb just burned out It was my grandma's machine, and I did not even know it had a light for like a solid year of using it. Then it had to get a fairly major repair, and the shop replaced the light bulb, which was a surprise when I turned on the machine for the first time! That shop is unfortunately on the other side of the country from me, and the light is extremely useful when I'm doing super precise sewing

#the person behind the yarn #I love this sewing machine #it has sentimental value #and also it's a really damn good sewing machine #it's like 40-50 years old and SOLID #it will sew through ANYTHING #I did not know that sewing machines sometimes have trouble with denim or faux fur because this machine Does Not Care #like. doesn't even need a denim needle for denim not even for sewing several layers (I still do change the needle out when I remember)#I have a second sewing machine now entirely because grandma's sewing machine has one little problem #it refuses to believe it can sew a zigzag stitch #very occasionally it will remember! and sew a zig zag for like a few inches #but then it will go back to the...I think it's called a blind hem stitch?#which just does not work as well for things like beanie hems #so new sewing machine for beanie hems and simple quilts (because I do not have a true 1/4 inch foot for the new machine)#and old sewing machine for everything else
