Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Does your sewing machine have a clear acrylic table extension? If it is you can put one of the stick up battery light domes under your extension table and you have an instant light box. You can also put the dome light under any large clear plastic bin for a light box.
What brand of bin do you find that has a flat smooth bottom?Originally Posted by Tartan
Got fabric?
Bellaboo I have a good supply of flat,clear plastic bottom bins from when I used to get the massive margaine tubs. I use them for all kinds of storage (they are about 10X12)and for light boxes as needed.
Holy moly!
That's a LOT of margarine!
I made a really simple one. I went to the big hardware store and bought a sheet of frosted plexiglass, and a string of LED Christmas lights. Then I bough a cheap wooden frame ( find the thickest one you can), rest the plexiglass on top and put the lights underneath.
That is really smart and can be taken apart and put away when not in use!
Did something similar to tesspug - although never thought of christmas lights. I use a simple bulb in a socket that we had in the garage. I don't think this is rocket science. Plexiglass at Lowe's or Home Depot is easy, and then some 2 by 4 scraps to support it. Thing is, this is easier to store than a big light box. Do love the Christmas light idea.
I took an old 1/2 storm window, placed it on 4 cans and put a light under it.....works wonderful

good idea here
You never stand taller than when you stoop to help a child.
I quite often just tape to my sliding glass door.
