[Nfb-krafters-korner] Quilt Class Oct. 4

[jill]

Hi,
I am signed up for the class.  I have a brother sewing machine that I got
last year and it is still operated with knobs.  You can buy the led display
ones of course, but I doubt they are very blind friendly.  Tonight my
husband just help me mark my 1/2 inch seam by placing a fake credit card
that I got in the mail on the line and taped it down.  This way I have a
tactile guide to help me with staying straight.  I haven't tackled cutting
out patterns, but you are right Ramona is a pro at that!  Maybe she will
chime in!  I am really excited about learning to quilt!  Come and join us!
Jill

Hi,
How does a totally blind person use today's sewing machines and sew straight
and in the right places? I sewed a little on my grandma's treadle machine
and on an electric machine in high school, with supervision, but no one
would show me how to sew independently and correctly on an electric machine.


Do current machines have led displays and stuff or do they have buttons or
dials to set the kind of stitches you want to make? 

And how do you cut out patterns? I know Ramona Walhoff sews, so I know it
can be done; I just would like to know how. 
Thanks
Lauren
