If you choose your pattern, it is totally by feel. I have done a couple 
plastic canvas projects over the years and did fine. Give it a try!

Hi,

As a totally blind person, how difficult is it to keep up with the the
pattern in doing the plastic canvas work? Are there any totals out there
successful with these projects?
I would like to learn, but I am just not sure.
Take care,

Lucy

A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he
knows that you are slightly cracked.
