Questions & Answers

Dimensions of the product 5 x 6. 5 x 0. 6 inches? I'm just curious as to how long it will take. There's no way it's eight. 5 x 6. ?

There are two lengths to choose from: 8 and 10. The larger magnetic boards are 5 inches wide, while the smaller ones are 6 inches wide. Magnetic boards with a width of 5 inches are more common. I bought seven of these because nearly every woman in my three-generational family does needlework. They're ideal if you get the magnetic board to go with them. When following a chart, you'll never lose your place again, and it also acts as a magnifying glass, allowing you to see the chart more clearly. It's fantastic, and my stitching buddies think so too.

I just got mine today and I'm already in love with it! I'm looking for an 8" bar, but can't seem to find one. ?

Amazon should be able to provide you with a list of retailers who sell it. Mine, I believe, was included.

I'm only able to find the 6, so I'm not sure if the longer one still exists. Version 5 is now available. ?

I went with the larger size because I use it for cross stitch and knitting patterns. They should be aware that I bought it on Amazon.

Is this compatible with the Magma Large Pattern Holder from Knitter's Pride?

Yes, depending on the size of your knitting chart, it works very well; the magnifier has magnets on both sides, so it keeps my patterns in place quite well. However, keep in mind that the magnification area is 4 3/4" in size. If you're working with a pattern that's wider than that, the magnets from the holder will be required to keep it in place. The magnifier should be moved across the screen.

The magnets aren't strong enough, and the usable space isn't nearly as long as the overall length
3/5

Keep in mind that the usable space may differ from the listed dimensions! The item has a total score of 6. 5" in length, but only 4 inches wide. 5" is adequate for the task at hand. To keep track of a knitting chart, I purchased the more expensive magnetic reader with the movable place designator; the slider works fine but will easily come off. Worst of all, the magnets have a strong odor. They won't keep the magnifier in place on the slanted board where patterns are supposed to be kept. Even if you don't move it, don't expect it to keep your place in a pattern. I'm not sure if it's even worth keeping because it's so short. It's a good idea, but it's a disaster in execution. I'll most likely go back and get a longer one to use with my own strong magnets.

The magnification and readability are best in the middle
3/5

This was purchased to accompany my knitting patterns. To be sure, it's a portable magnetic magnifier. The magnets adhere well to the pattern board and remain in place even after several layers of pattern and sleeve protector have been applied. It does, however, have a red line in an inconvenient location, as the middle magnification and readability is the best. However, the red line cuts through the line, making it more difficult to read. A new magnifier is something I'm looking for.

Strong enough magnets aren't available
3/5

I really like it, but it doesn't seem to be working. It keeps sliding down the page because the magnets aren't strong enough. I initially assumed it was because I was using thick paper, but it still slipped down when I tried it on regular notebook paper. So I'm ordering some strong magnets to replace the thin little magnets, which will set me back nearly twice as much as I paid before.

The red line aids in focusing on specific information and ensures that magnification does not distort the image
5/5

This line magnifier is the best of the ones I've tried, and I use it with my knitting patterns. Patterns are frequently printed in tiny print. The red line helps me focus on where I am in the pattern right now, and there is no magnification distortion like I've seen with other line magnifiers. This magnifier is used in conjunction with a non-magnifying magnifier. It has a metal base, but it also has magnets, so it should work with a magnetic board just fine.

Excellent Quality Projects to sew Purchased for cross-country travel
5/5

the stitching It's the perfect size. I had no idea there were magnets on the back of the magnifier, but I suppose they'd be useful for those who use a magnetic board for their projects. Aside from the unexpected twist, this was exactly what I needed. It shouldn't be too big or heavy. It's small and light, but it's still of high quality. created a tool.

Great for eyes that are starting to age! Until I got this magnifier, I was having a lot of trouble with a tricky lace knitting pattern
4/5

I find the red guide line to be extremely useful, and the number of lines it covers at a given time is just right. I wish I had a longer one because I often get off track when moving it across the pattern. Furthermore, there is a design on one end of the magnifier that blocks my view and reduces the amount of space available. Nonetheless, this item comes highly recommended from me.

Magnifier with some restrictions
3/5

Please take time to read! I want everyone who is considering purchasing this magnifier to be aware that it only provides vertical magnification; the text is only stretched vertically, not horizontally. While it aids reading, it may not be enough for many people with poor vision, and it takes time to adjust when switching from regular proportion text reading. br>br>I should point out that mine had a major flaw - The text line has a distortion in the middle, giving it a sinusoidal appearance. br>br>The red horizontal line slows reading because the text is obstructed, and you have to align the magnifier with each subsequent line of text one by one, which is difficult. br>Also, the black rubber pads on both ends add resistance and make sliding the magnifier more difficult. br>In my opinion, the line is unnecessary due to the magnifier's narrow shape, or it should at the very least be yellow, as it is in some other line magnifiers. br>br>However, assuming there isn't a deforming defect, the magnifier is of reasonable quality and is more affordable than similar LMs available on Amazon. br>br>I hope you found my feedback useful. br>Make an informed decision, and best of luck!.

This is an excellent product
3/5

If only the magnets were strong enough to work on both sides. I like it, but when I put it on my magnetic board, only the right side magnet (near the LO RAN logo) is strong enough to keep it in place; the left side magnet is barely magnetized and flops around. It would be far too inconvenient to return. br>br>NEW EDITION 9/28/19: A second one was placed in my shopping cart. This is the LO RAN with the sliding markers and the magnets work perfectly. On both sides, it's nice and strong. So clearly, the first time I got one, it was faulty. oh well. one of the drawbacks of ordering things online If something is defective, it is difficult to return it.
