[NFB-Krafters-Korner] New Here. Two Questions about Stitches

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Jen.
Welcome to the list!  And the pillow your friend gave you sounds real neat.

I used to do crewel, which is a kind of embroidery with thin yarn.  I had a
braille book on how to do it.  The book might still be available from BARD.
Try a search on crewel.  It described how to make all the different kinds of
stitches.

I also have done sewing, though lately it's only been for mending.  I'd like
to get back into it.  It's perfectly possible for a totally blind person to
sew, so long as you're careful, if you're using a sewing machine.  Hand
sewing is easy-peasy, just a bit slower than with a machine.
Tracy

Subject: [NFB-Krafters-Korner] New Here. Two Questions about Stitches

Hello crafters,

I have been totally blind since birth. Over the past year, I've just
discovered stitches, and I'm obsessed with them! Every day, I look for
stitchy things. I love all stitching, but my favorite is embroidery.

My questions are

1. Am I the only blind person obsessed with stitches?
2. Can blind people sew, particularly embroider?

Thanks!
