All you need is a light box that is large enough for the pattern you want to trace. I purchased my at a garage sale for $2.00. Nothing fancy.

[QUOTE=NatalieF;7644772]MeadowMist,
Another inexpensive method is taping your paper design onto a sunny window and placing your fabric over it and tracing away. That way you are using the sun as your light source.

This is what I have always used and it works great for me.

What a beautiful pattern you are planning to make
Thanks for sharing the link to it.

I use an old drawer, but any wooden box would work. There is a space cut out close to a corner for the cord for the light fixture. Plexiglass piece on top. Diane C.

I use my glass front storm door and I do a lot of applique.

I bought a light tablet that is 22.5 by 14 inches and 0.3 inches thick with adjustable brightness for about 60.00. Really works well for what I trace, very comfortable to use because it is so thin. That was the best price I could find.

I am along your style Jan. I took a large picture frame , placed it over the arms of a childs chair with a lamp underneath.
It worked...

Crayola box doesn't cut it. ive tried a gagne model 1012 light box. the fabric comes from lqs and was tone on tone. I could not see the design at all. I'm also looking for a light box.

I have also got the Crayola one - so much cheaper than most and does the job !

Here is a link to a post I did years ago that has a picture of my improvised light box. Worked well for marking a quilt top.
