I buy the clip on magnifying glasses from Joann's when the notion wall is
50% off. Of course, these only work if you wear regular glasses.

Mag Eyes. They are on a head band. The can be moved up and down. You can
also glance up over the top to see TV or anywhere in the room. Not tied
to one position like ones on a stand.
I always use them for my beadwork.
You can buy different strength lenses for them.
I have tried a few magnifiers but these are tops with me.

I use a stronger pair of glasses. Have a magnifier that clips onto
....something. Fits the table edge, but that's in the way of quilting.
No place it would stay clipped to the machine. And too wobbly with the
vibration anyhow. But I do use it for the occasional fiddly hand
mending of something delicate.
I also have the bosom buddy, and agree it's useless. A woman's got to
breathe!
