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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>

legally blind now. She has been a weaver her whole life
and is really struggling with not being able to operate
her computerized loom anymore. It uses Weavepoint 9
