Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 9-6-23 (repost)

Stitched by Rinda Just.
It’s time for that chat we have in the middle of the week every other week. This time, Cindy and Gary talk about stitching in public, our Sept. 3 show on vision, Jane Garrison and Painter’s Threads, events at Sassy Jacks Stitchery, Gary’s almost-matching sampler border, and whether designers/teachers need formal training. Overrated/underrated topics this week are laying tools, tweezers, cross-stitch charts printed in color, and adjustable stretcher bars. Join us next Wednesday for the Fiber Talk Stitch Hour at 8:00 p.m. Eastern. Our guest will be Jane Garrison of Painter’s Threads and we’ll be live on YouTube and Facebook. Sunday’s guest: Lucy Newman, LJN Studio–Cindy and Gary

Fiber Talk: Your Eyes and Stitching

Needlework by Kelly Lea Teske.
Counted-canvas work by Rinda Just.
This week we are joined by Rinda Just and Kelly Lea Teske. The show is sponsored by CyberPointers and Sassy Jacks Stitchery. Our topic is vision issues that go beyond using a good light and magnifier. Rinda and Kelly share their experiences and expertise on topics such as macular degeneration, dry eyes, floaters, eye vitamins, what you can expect and ask of your eye doctor, purchasing glasses that will fit properly and work for you, and what it’s like to adapt and deal with vision problems. Note that we are not doctors. What we share in the show are our own experiences and Kelly’s expertise as an experienced optician. Our goal is to help you ask informed questions and make good decisions about your eye care. Anything to do with your eye health starts with your eye doctor. We hope this show helps you better understand vision issues and encourage you to share it with your fellow stitchers. A special thank you to Nancy Holub, Rinda Just, and Kelly Lea Teske for giving us the opportunity to talk about this important subject.–Gary
