I guess I didn't cross my fingers hard enough. There was no stitching for me last night. I got home and the first thing I did was plug in the new bulb I bought, and... no light. The bulb was making a weird ringing sound, so I figured something was wrong with it. Back to Michaels I went to switch it for another one, tried it again and still no light. My dad is now in the process of dissecting it right now.
I had posted an image of the light bulb on Instagram and got back some interesting remarks from one stitcher. Carolskorner0 was saying that all the replacement light bulbs she ever bought for her Ottlite never worked and she's had to throw away the lamp entirely. Bbrown426 on the other hand loves her Ottlite and has several (five to be exact). Has anyone else experienced this issue with replacement bulbs? The one I have at home right now is the 13w craft organizer.
In the meantime, I will be using my old (much smaller) desk lamp for stitching. But this means Eidelweiss will be on hiatus until my lamp is fixed or I get a new one. My old lamp just doesn't give a strong enough light for white on white stitching.
