jebm Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I know how handy this would be and have looked at Ikea and Lowes etc...I just want a little light (I think) like the regular lights that attach to the side of the machine.

Quilting Heidi Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Jane, I ordered mine from Kingsmen. http://www.kmquiltingsupply.com/ It is very easy to change out the older light on the milli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebm Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Thanks Heidi! I just ordered Silicone spray and needles from them...wish I'd thought about the light--I never thought about actually replacing the light in the machine! Cool!!

Quilting Heidi Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Jane make sure you order some of the black light powder and pencils too! It is very handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I bought mine at Wal-Mart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb2bie Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Wal-Mart usually has them at a terriffic price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizziesgirl Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Mary Beth and Debbie, Are meaning just the black light bulb? I'm with Jane on wanting a light that would be attached to the side, maybe a LED light system or something like that. That way when I need the black light for some areas its there and then turn it off for when I need the other light. I have ran into this scenario before on quilts and that white light gets hot. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katydids Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Upgrade to the 2008 Millie! You can then go back and forth between the white and black lights with just a flip of a switch. I love mine!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheri Butler Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I got mine at Menards. (Lumber store) You'd be surprised at what a lumber store carries!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jhend Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I bought a huge one from Wal-Mart that I lay across my bars. Works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrna Ficken Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Jane Home Depot usually has them as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizziesgirl Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Patty, I have thought about upgrading but I don't want to spend the extra right now. Besides I have my machine on an equipment lease and I really don't want to extend that any longer. Been counting down the days that its paid for. Joanne, Duh! I never thought about laying a light across the bars. What a genius you are. Gonna try it because one of the kids has one of those light bars.

IQ'd Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I know this is an older thread but I have an 08 millie and I don't know of any switch for a black light. Can you tell me where it is Patty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreadWaggle Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 It is at the back of the light. It is on the light fixture at the back and is a small sliding switch. I found mine by mistake when I first got the machine it scared me when it started glowing blue. I know that Sue showed it to me when I did my test drive, but I had forgotten about it. I love this feature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Mike provides outstanding customer service. I called with a slight issue I had with my light upgrade. He answered the phone, and had me up and running in minutes. He said if I had any issues, he would send me a brand new piece. Since I was able to fix the burr that had formed which caught my thread at times, this was not needed. While I do not use the UV/black light all that often, it has come in handy on the certain fabrics when it was hard to see under the white light. If you are looking for a light upgrade, I whole heartedly suggest you contact Mike. Cagey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
