Thank you so much ladies. I really appreciate all the advice!! And the encouragement.
The vision problem is that I can not see things much further away than my computer screen. So in order to get that close to the machine I would have to be in a very uncomfortable and sloched position. I am working with the doctors to figure out what is wrong because I am only 24 but I just thought that maybe I could try and finish it while I am 'laid up' so to speak. It's frusterating to not be able to finish the project when I am so close.
I have watched a few tutorials on YouTube but none of them really talk about the size of needle, which is why I asked. The stitch looks easy enough but will take some practice. I already have all the other materials that I will need including the thread and some material to practice on.
I hope to be able to start piecing my next project as soon as I can see the machine well enough to not sew my finger.
