Hi Shirlee,
I have several magnifiers - the one with the light, which makes the thinnest
of threads look like rope, the one which pins to the pillow, a 'linen
prover' which tends to go everywhere in my lace bag, and also a magnifying
glass with a handle, which can sometimes sort out horrible messes (!).
But - I also have the magnifier which one wears round one's head. I have
to admit, it has caused an inordinate amout of amusement to my class members
and friends at Lace Days, but all I can say is, it works! It did take a
bit of getting used to, but it is great as one can flip the magnifier bit
up, so it isn't in use all the time, and it just has to be flipped down when
it is needed - I borrowed one for a while before I bought mine, so I knew I
would get on with it OK, so maybe borrowng one, if possoble, is the way to
go.
Hope this helps

Subject: [lace] Magnifiers
Does anyone have any experience with the magnifier that you pin or clip to
your pillow? These old eyes just aren't like they used to be, & my
husband has just ordered me a lovely magnifying light which I can use here
at home, but if I want to attend a workshop it would be a little difficult
to bring along, not so much because of the weight but workshop space is
sometimes limited. Do these pillow magnifiers work? I would not want to
even try the one that you wear around your neck because any movement would
make it bounce around & make it impossible to lace. A friend from long
ago used to have some sort of magnifying visor she wore around her head
but I would think it would be a little strange feeling, not to mention
giving me magnifying visor hair : ) Anyway, please let me know if this
little magnifyer you pin or clip to your pillow would be a good
investment.
Blessings,
Shirlee
