This is the same concept as using the double sided sticky tape. Since I
almost always carry velcro in labeling supplies, I tried this and had luck
with folding a small piece of velcro so that the sticky side is out on both
sides and put it between the two clear plastic pieces on the dial. This
worked with one piece of tape and for a person with low vision they may be
able to see a black piece of velcro placed at the setting mark, of course
depending on the individual and the contrast needed. Also, you can tactile
mark the out side too if needed.

Hi Jean May,
When I first read your question the only thing that came to mind was the way
I handled my washing machine that is included with my apartment. The type
of dial I have is the type that has one protruding round handle in the
middle and the part that moves is a flat, plastic cover , that is around the
knob, , and the different cycles are actually on the machine itself. What I
did was use my slate and stylus to make the letter l. This made a sort of
arrow or pointer that I placed on the plastic cover. What seemed important
to me was that I marked the position on the machine that told me when the
cycles completed. This way I can always start from that position. After
this, I marked the positions on the cycles which were important to me such
as "heavy" or "delicate". Since I have a starting point, I hold the movable
part in place with one finger while I turn the knob in the middle making
sure they move together to the cycle I want to use. Please let me know if
this makes any sense. I think I've just confused myself *grin* because, to
be honest, I don't think about it when I'm actually doing it. Best of luck!

Has anyone figured out how to mark a washing machine that has a clear
plastic cover over the dial the spins?
Thanks !
