I use readers. 150 for normal stuff like reading and computer work, and 250 or 300 for applique. I like the ones I get at Home Depot; they're $5, are very lightweight, very flexible and bendable, which is great for when I fall asleep reading my kindle and wake up laying on them. 🤣
Award-winning quilter Lisa Calle uses Craft-Optics for her very detailed quilting. They are, in my opinion, fairly expensive, about $400 if I remember right.
