I enjoy sewing, but am losing my good vision to macular degeneration. Any hints or ideas that might help?

Really sorry to hear of your problems.
I can only suggest the obvious.
Lighting.........Also there are magnifying lamps with a headband.
easy threading needles
Photocopiers can enlarge instructions.
Try googling "sewing poor vision" for more help
Will message again if I think of any other ideas
Best wishes

There is a magnifying glass that attaches to the sewing machine so you can really see what is hapening at the needle. There are also self threading hand sewing nedles. God Bless
2 more suggestions..............
Pins with coloured heads
Try using a thread slightly lighter/darker than fabric so it shows uo more easily
