[Nfb-krafters-korner] Welcome

[qubit]

This is fantastic -- I didn't know this was available -- I am thinking of 
tutoring math to blind kids, or me as a blind person tutoring math to a 
sighted person.
(Math was my major in school -- I had print vision then...)
Thanks for the heads up.

Cindy:

American Printing House for the Blind has raised line graph paper.  Last
time I bought it you could select I think 1 inch squares or 1/2 inch
squares.  APH is on the net at www.aph.org  and you can run a search on
their site for it although I don't think they call it raised line ... its
called something else but I can't remember right now.  It might be Bold line
graph paper, but its raised and you can feel it if you are totally blind.  I
wish one of these places would come up with a better system/design that
would let a totally blind person try to draw and map out designs.

Eileen
