Thoughts on Creativity and Home

Tips for the Visually Impaired Stitcher

Barbara Elmore is posting tips for stitchers with vision problems on her Facebook page.

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.)

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!
