I do not have knowledge to express any experience but I am certain there are others here who may. I would like to follow what you learn on beading on clothing and things as it is something I enjoy and like westing but have not looked into. Hope you get info you are looking for to work on this project and if you do, I hope you might share this to me personally or on list.

I’d just like to hear generally about it from other totally blind crafters: for instance, what made working on garments easier (like, possibly, stabilizing them using an embroidery hoop), what challenges you faced, what you particularly liked about beading, your general sense of the how-to’s that work best—before I invest a lot of money in beads,  other supplies, and/or tools. I’m thinking beading could 1, be a nice diversion from my usual standbys (knitting and crocheting), and 2, products might sell better (I currently offer profits from my stuff to the National Eating Disorders Assn., after recouping a bit for time and materials, and, like a lot of you, find people don’t often understand that the cost is for the labor-intensive and quality nature of our work). Thanks, in advance, for all your ideas, and for the fun listserv—even including service animals and pets like my Emily—will have to be careful about spilling them beads, so she doesn’t get her little feline paws on them and try to ingest what would NOT be good for her!
