“Steampunk” glasses are a big help when specifying stitching glasses.Lined tri-focals with an 8×35 magnification area are recommended for stitching glasses.Kelly Lea Teske joins Gary this week to talk about Gary’s trip to the eye doctor to get new everyday glasses and lined-trifocal stitching glasses. In a show we did on April 6, 2024, we talked with Kelly about how stitchers should approach an eye doctor visit with the intention of getting glasses that will help with stitching. Gary followed Kelly’s advice and had an excellent experience with two of the three professionals involved. He had to stick to his guns when it came to actually specifying and purchasing the glasses, but it worked out. In this week’s show, we take you through the experience so you can be better informed the next time you visit the eye doctor. Huge thanks to Kelly for making time on short notice to do the show. Also note that Kelly is doing two talks at the Great Wisconsin Quilt show, Sept. 5 to 7 in Madison, WI. Go to quiltshow.com to get all of the details.–Kelly and Gary

I continue to LOVE your podcast! Your discussions in the past about copyright issues are ‘spot on.’ As an elementary school librarian, especially when we are doing research, my students and I have discussions about copyright and plagiarism often.
I live in Pennsylvania. There is a cross-stitch designer about 45 minutes from where I live. Her company is called Lila’s Studio. If she is willing, she may be a good person to interview. She had a trunk show at my LNS (Strawberry Sampler, in West Chester, PA) Her designs are beautiful.
I am not finished ‘binge-listening,’ to your podcasts, so you may have had this particular designer already. Oh! Perhaps JBW Designs would be good to interview too! Thanks for all you do for the needlework world! Desiree
