Sewing with CraftOptics is a Great Solution for the Eyes!

Have you see the WOW package from CraftOptics?

I met Jeff Caplan from CraftOptics a few years ago in Puyallup, his booth was around the corner from Kai Scissors. I was intrigued by the glasses and loved hearing the comments that people would say after trying them on. It wasn’t until last year at Houston Quilt Fest that I had a chance to try these fabulous glasses myself. Here is a recent interview with Jeff and an explanation how these glasses work.
