Barbara Elmore is posting tips for stitchers with vision problems on her Facebook page.
https://www.facebook.com/barbaraelmoredesigns/
Barbara's having problems with her eyes right now but she's using her disability to come up with ways for stitchers who also have vision trouble to keep stitching. Kudos to you, Barbara!
(If you are late to the party, look for postings that start around October 8, 2019.)

Use a Toothbrush to Thread a Needle
Labels:

Facebook,

toothbrushes
Now this is something you don't see every day—threading a needle using a toothbrush!
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1512024105778157/permalink/2307211196259440/
This was posted on a beading site on Facebook so the thread is probably stiff beading thread. I don't know if this will work for floss but it's worth posting here in case you have to thread a needle one handed. It might work!

Thanks to Needlepoint Now magazine, I now know Annie Oakley was a needlepointer.

You can see the scroll patterned belt by clicking on the tiny thumbnail under the large photo of Annie herself.
UPDATE: Margaret took a nice photo of the belt.
