    Does anyone use the DD?

    I heard about them. Is it worth it and did it help you?

      DD=Daily Deal. I'm guessing the question is about today's deal on the red glasses. I've never used them so will be checking back to here from others.

        I just ordered them....hope they work for me. I used my quilter's cash so I only paid a dollar plus shipping for them. Hope they work. I guess if they work, $6 well spent...if they don't, they'll just go in with all the other useless notions I have.

          I saw Eleanor Burns use them on one of her videos about a month ago and have been looking for them ever since. I am not good at choosing color values and generally choose colors in the middle so my quilts don’t usually have much contrast unless I am working with a precut. I was so excited to see them pop up as the DD. Then I ended up getting a layer cake for the disappearing pinwheel quilt with it. This is my third order this week and my second from MSQC. I have to go back on my fabric diet for awhile anyway. Waa....

              Do they fit over regular glasses? I have to wear my glasses! If I have to take them off and put on just the red pair I would not be sure what I was looking at!

                I had a hand held version of them. I gave it away. I usually don't have any trouble when picking fabric colors. If a fabric doesn't feel right to me, I pick something else. I usually take my time when picking my fabrics because that is my favorite part so I don't mind if I have to audition multiple fabrics!!

                  They do make (and M* has) the clip on version but they aren't on the DD.
                  The red will take the color out of the picture and just show you light, medium and dark to assist in placement of the values of your fabric. Still thinking about these.

                    These might be an alternative to glasses. I can't fit other glasses over my own.

                      From the way I understand it from watchin the latest tutorial, you don't wear them constantly, only while working on the design wall when you step back to look at your layout from a distance.

                        My friend the Long arm quilter uses them a lot..she has what is called the "Ruby Beholder".... she is very fussy about color placement... in my group of 4,, the other 3 can play for an hour moving my block around the design wall.... LOL,, I take most all of my block for them to play with... I get to a point where I just say.. "good enough"... and begin sewing!!!

                          I just ordered the DD, along with several other things, can't wait to go fabric shopping with them.

                            I think they will be helpful when I need to move blocks around, I will have both hands free to move the blocks and will be able to see right away if it works.

                              This might good to have for the Crafsty BOM because it is about color theory. Iv'e been on a M* diet for awhile so I guess I'll try them out.
