I bought a light board for tracing my applique designs onto my fabric and I just love it. Mine is called a Litup Light Box and I bought it on Amazon. I got the one that's 11.81" wide and 15.63" long (they come in different sizes). It's very thin and lightweight, but works beautifully. It's a bit expensive but I figured I'd be using it for a long time so felt it was worth it and it is.[h=1][/h]
