I use a pair of 3.5 drugstore reading glasses for sewing. They are half glasses, so I can look over them if I want to see who has come into the room, and they fit into a container like a toothbrush case, so I can always have them in my pocket. I don't have any problem wearing them over my prescription glasses -- since my eyes don't match, the only alternative to wearing magnifiers over my glasses would be prescription magnifiers.
But they require you to hold your work up close to your face -- not a serious option with pillow lace, I gather. -- Joy Beeson http://joybeeson.home.comcast.net/ http://roughsewing.home.comcast.net/ http://n3f.home.comcast.net/ -- Writers' Exchange http://www.timeswrsw.com/craig/cam/ (local weather) west of Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A. where iris are in bloom. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
