:idea: I just realized that if I'm going to do the blanket stitch by machine on the front through batting and a backing, that will make it difficult to do the embroidery on the front, right?
I was thinking of doing the embroidery before doing the machine blanket stitch, but I'm open to ideas.
I bought a light box many years ago. They were expensive back then, but I "needed" it for some project. They are well worth the money if you're going to get a lot of use out of them.
