The is a band that can be adjusted for the head size and a magnifing "glasses" that can be moved in front of your face even over glasses. I use my "headgear" at the sewing station to thread, and at my chair. Helps me so much to thread a needle. Hope this idea helps you..yes, I too nearly fainted at the use of a # 11 needle when I took a handquilting class with Jinnie Beyer. But they really are great when you get used to them.
