A lady sent me this site for those who have a problem seeing but still want to sew. She is legally blind but still sews for foster kids. She uses the self-threading needles and near vision binoculars. www.maxiaids.com MaryW

Great site Mary. Thanks for sharing. My mom was legally blind too and loved to sew but she never could get the hang of doing after her sight went that bad-she had the goggles and self-threading needles also. Too bad because I know she always missed being able to do it. Good for this lady who sent you the information! Lyn
