[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Sewing machine

[Mary Kindrick]

Tracey,

In the future, you might want to leave at least two inches of thread extending from the needle before you move the machine.
I do wish that you could still get a quality sewing machine that does not use touch screen technology.

Mary K.

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.
