I’m working on this new piece on black aida and I’m making pretty slow progress just because it’s difficult to see what I’m doing.
I’m sitting by a pretty bright light and working over a brightly colored tray and that’s helping some, but I wondered if anyone knew any other tricks to working with darker fabrics?
The only thing I’m finding online is people saying to use a light box, but I really don’t want to invest that much if I can help it
Maybe a light pad/table would be an option for you. They are generally used for painting but are really bright and can be very inexpensive
I second this! Or you could even lay a white cloth down on your lap so that when you’re holding the black aida over it, you can see the holes better.
