Several helpful tools can make sewing easier with macular degeneration. Magnifiers, including both handheld and electronic versions, can help you see details better while working on your sewing projects. You might want to try different types of magnifiers to find what works best for your needs.

Consider using a gooseneck or flexible-arm lamp on your work surface, as these can be adjusted to point exactly where you need the light while sewing. Additionally, using high-contrast materials and threads against your fabric can make it easier to see what you're working on. You might also find it helpful to use tactile markers or raised dots to mark important settings on your sewing machine. This can help you locate commonly used settings and controls without having to rely solely on vision.
