Quality And Quirky For Quilters - Fashion Eyeglass

Quilting is one of the most popular hobbies of all time. For millennia, women (and some men), have been piecing together patches of cloth to make blankets, know as quilts, that are often passed down through the generations of a single family. Quilts are made to be creative-each quilt is different from the other, much like a fingerprint. There are thousands of different patterns, designs, stitches, and fabrics that can be used in quilting; and you can even embroider directly onto quilts if you're industrious enough.

Quilting isn't just a hobby; it is also a main source of income for many simple living Americans, like the Amish and Mennonite communities in rural areas across the country.

Quilting can be done by hand, which is a slow and painstaking process, or it can be done using a sewing machine, embroidery machine, surger, and even long arm sewing machines that can take up entire rooms in a house. When a quilter wants to do close up work, they usually spend hours hunched over, squinting at the fabric, which can lead to terrible headaches and backaches.

Instead of causing damage to the eyes, many quilters will use magnification eyeglasses, which they loop around their necks using eyeglass chains and eyeglass necklaces.

Not only are magnification glasses useful for bringing the details of quilting closer to the face, but when tethered around the neck securely with eyeglass chains, they are easily accessible right when you need them, and when you're done using them, you can remove them and they'll still be right there the next time you need them.

When you're doing something the requires close-up work, like seam ripping or detailed sewing, you can put the glasses on-they're right there attached to your eyeglass necklace, and when you need to do something like choosing the fabric for the next square, you just take them off. This is much easier than hauling around a magnifying glass.

Besides making things accessible, your eyeglass chains and eyeglass necklaces are also the more secure choice over 'free floating' magnifying eyeglass that can slip from your face when you bend over.

Not only can quilters enjoy the accessibility and security offered by magnifying eyeglasses and their accessories, they can also enjoy the fun and fashionable qualities as well. Many magnifying eyeglass frames come in different shapes, sizes, and designs-it's no wonder that eyeglass chains and eyeglass necklaces are just as varied and fun? You can get an eyeglass necklace made of beads that will match perfectly with your comfy quilting clothes (people love being comfy while they quilt), and you can even use your eyeglass chain for your normal everyday glasses as an actual fashion accessory.

Quilters the world over share a bond through their love of quilting. Not only are there quilting circles locally, but some websites even encourage international quilting circles in which one person in one country completes one part of the quilt then ships the quilt to a circle member in another country. Quilting is a serious hobby that requires seriously high quality accessories.
