I had been sewing with my contacts in and reading glasses. The power of the reading glasses is perfect for me to read, but I think I could probably use more power for sewing(?) So, I'm wondering if any of you are nearsighted contact wearers and have suggestions to improve sewing vision.
Thanks!
I wear glasses full time, but have a pair of magnifier clip-on glasses that I wear over them which help me immensely. I bought them from JoAnn's Fabrics online. Cost is up there with shipping, but well worth it since I can comfortably see to sew or rip. :-)
