A
chance stop at a booth at International Quilt Market in Houston last fall yielded a fun (and useful) tool.
Sew Red
glasses are used to determine colour value of fabric. You may be familiar with
the Ruby Beholder tool that has been around for many years. These glasses work
the same way but you don't have to hold the tool up to your eyes – you just put
on the glasses!
I gathered some green and purple batik fabrics to see how the glasses worked. It is easy to arrange the green fabrics in value order without the glasses. Similarly, the purples weren't too hard to arrange.

Blending the
two groups together was much easier when I wore the Sew Red glasses.
I got the
regular glasses but there is also a 'clip-on' style.
