> Hi all,
> During our meeting at the virtual national convention, I taught a class on how to make a braille greeting card with a picture of a sailboat on it. This meeting was open to all so I thought I’d share the instructions with all of you.
> By the way, I will be teaching a braille drawing of a flower in a pot as a part of the flower garden class In September. So, if braille drawings interest you, go and sign up for the flower garden class now or at any time.
> Okay, now for the sailboat.
>  
> Sailboat Directions
> Prepare your braille writer:
> Slide margins as far to the left and right as they can go.
> Prepare paper to make the card
> Position paper so that long sides are to the right and left.
> Bend the paper from top to bottom.
> match up the two layers by using the corners of the paper.
> Slide one hand to center of bottom edge, and with other hand, press down on the fold at the top. Make a hard crease.
> Open the paper, turn it over and turn it so that the long edges are now at the top and bottom.
> Your crease should run vertically down the center with the hard crease facing up.
> Place your paper into the braille writer with the paper going in just 
> as it is positioned. (now you know why you have adjusted the margins to their limits. If you still can’t fit the paper in, then use the screw near the margin adjuster to give you more room.) Roll in your paper.
> Now adjust left-hand margin so that you can only braille to the right of the vertical fold. Allow for a space between the fold. Check your carriage before continuing to ensure that you will not be brailling over the fold.
>  
> This picture is 13 lines long and 16 characters wide.
>  
> Line down 3 times.
> Space 8, 456, end.
> Space 8, 456, wh, ch.
> Space 8, 456 twice, space, ch.
> Space 8, 456 twice, space twice, ch.
> Space 8, 456 twice, space 3, ch.
> Space 8, 456 twice, space 4, ch.
> Space 8, 456 twice, space 5, ch.
> Space 8, 456 twice, space 6, ch.
> Space 8, 456 once, ar, space 7, ch.
> Space 4, sh, c 12, m.
> Space 5, ch, space 10, st.
> Space 3, s, wh, ch, space 10, st, s, wh Space 5, ch, hyphen 10, st.
