I will second this....I seldom use the magnifier, even for mini's, when making lace, or anything else for that matter. However it is indispensable for retro-lacing, or anything else that I need to pick out!

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] It could have been so sad... I walked away from the pillow (intending to return shortly) but neglected to "buckle up" (tie the bobbins down securely) before I left. The pillow got bumped and all 82 bobbins flew up and around the pins and each other and made a horrible mess. I was only two pattern repeats from the end of the Bucks bookmark, and thought I would never be able to undo the tangle, when I decided to try using the magnifier that came with my OTT lamp (an anniversary gift). It is a very good magnifier and I have been glad to have it to help with problem areas in some patterns, and in honiton lace, but don't use it all the time. Most of the time, the light itself is sufficient to help me see the lace work. In this case, it was a blessing to have the magnifier and now everything is untangled and I am back to work on the bookmark!
