:lol: :lol: :lol: Well, I guess so! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I've found, since I'm also nearsighted, being able to stitch very small things without my glasses works remarkably well. HAEDs come to mind. Also current Etui which has single silk strand over 1 thread on 32ct as part of the design. :doh:

Err.
I stitch at all times with it that close from my nose. Admittedly I don't use a hoop.

No "well done" about it Sally, it's just one of the (few) benefits of nearsightedness :-) !
