[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Sewing machine

[Tracy Carcione]

I'll use a needle threader.  The trick is figuring out the path the thread has to take.  My neighbor and I worked it out, but then it came unthreaded when we picked up the machine to put it back in its box so I could carry it home.  Gack.

OK. How do blind people thread, sewing machines? When I had more vision, I couldn’t figure it out. God bless my helper in whole Mac and middle school! It would be kind of nice to have a portable one.
