For fine (anything beyond 28 threads/inch) embroidery, I use magnifiers that clip to my eye glasses. I simply can't resolve the holes any more, and come up/down in the wrong hole too often. However, those focus too closely to use for BL. They're for work in-hand.
This weekend I sure could have used a magnifier on my pillow. I was learning Tonder from Guenvor Jorgensen (sp?), with 120/2 cotton (the finest cotton thread I've ever used) and several times couldn't find the hole. It was pre-pricked, but with such tiny holes that I couldn't always find them with the pin in gimpy areas (where the gimp moves back and forth in fingers, or the gimps enclose one space and start another).
