loupe - what to buy? by
Lobo
Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced loupe? I'm a quilter and can't
read the sizes on sewing machine needles anymore. That and to be able to
read marks inside some rings I have is all I want the loupe for, so it

Java Lisper
True story from a few decades years ago: a

statements is...
