Becca that is a cute kit but my god is is ever expensive!

Hi Joan. thank you for the input, the white towel seems to be working, and is a lot cheaper lol Linda

That would probably work on a small project but the piece I am doing is 12 by 13, and you would have to be very careful to line everything up. Linda

Thanks for the reply Linda,using white cloth sounds like a good idea, I will try that tomorrow. I tried a lamp on the floor but it was too bright. I'll let you know how I make out. I will never use back again and the only reason I am going to finish it is that it is a commission piece. thanks again ...

I am presently working on a project that is stitched on black aida, I am having trouble seeeing what I am doing. Has anyone else done work on black and if so do you have any hints. Thank you Linda olor=violet][/color]

I was surfing around and came to About..com. I found more sites and am planning on visiting them all!!!

I prefer to use a scroll frame with a stand for large piecesand a hoop for small ones. If I use th hoop I try to make sure the whole design fits in so I don't have to remove it every time I stop, that way I dont get marks to iron out' [/b]
