I don't know if anyone has tried these but they are amazing and so helpful. I ordered them online and it has changed the way I pick out fabric. I found her website and I wanted to share it with you. http://sewredglasses.com/

I agree that a color filter works great but you don't have to spend $20 on the glasses. I have used the file folder sheet protectors in red to view value and I also have a little viewer that is 2" x 4" that I can carry around with me. It is a great tool that only cost $5.

I think they are worth $20 but I bought the glasses when they were a daily deal at Missouri Star Quilt Co. The color film works but the glasses make it easier, both hands are free. I really like how I can see my whole quilt top when I have the blocks laid out to see contrast. Also I use a peep hole to look at my quilt top and I can see the whole quilt in black and white with the glasses on. They fit over my regular glasses and are very lightweight. I'm glad I bought them. I bought extra for some of my quilt buddies. I knew they would want to use mine when we go fabric shopping! They love them. We look a sight in a fabric store together.

yep, $20 is pricey but I applaud that entrepreneur ;-) I too, just have a rectangle.

Makes me think of the days when i loved rose colored glasses ;-)

My granddaughter borrowed my glasses to use in her art/design class. She said her instructor wore them more then she did. They used the red and green film there as filters a lot when not using the computer to design.

I got one of our restaurant chains that had 3d glasses for the kids meal pack magazines to give me a couple of pairs to use for looking at fabric values.

I have a pair and love them did not pay $20 for them, got them from MSQC as there daily deal. I have used the film often, but the glasses are so much easier, free hands!

Maybe a person could keep their glasses from a old 3-D movie and just close one eye? lol. I actually had some disposable ones here, one blue film and one red. I tossed them recently, since the new movies use a different type of glasses.
