I don't think I was seeing well enough with the lightbox, so instead of using it, I have put the fluorescent bulb under my clear quilting extenion table. That gives me "cleaner" light. ***gritting my teeth and reminding myself that this is just yet another learning experience***
ohhh, I am learning that if I don't see well and have a steady paw when tracing, that the applique and the swirlies are going to be wonky for sure!
Man, I have to be a good quilter and an athlete too? :shock:
