[NFB-Blind-Crafters] FW: CompuDobby loom

[slery]

Many of the software for these devices (sewing, etc.) is inaccessible. I 
would suggest writing to the company as a first step and explaining that 
it does not work with screen readers for the blind. This might help push 
them in the right direction.

While I do not know anyone that uses a computerized loom, there are 
blind weavers. You might try getting her in contact with Linda Lambert. 
She is a professional artist that went blind and sold her loom at first, 
but after meeting us she learned that she could still craft. I believe 
she has returned to weaving and a professional life but I am not sure 
she is still on this list.
