use what you have - I bought a photo light box years ago to view slides but obviously I don't use it for that very often any more now I use it trading my appliqué... its smaller than the ones they sell for sewing - but I have never had anything I couldn't do on it....

Sometimes you can use a good bright light above your work space.If the pattern is dark enough and material is light it will work. I have done this but ,a window and a chair to sit in works ok. Get and tape your pattern as you sit in chair that way you know it is right height.I enjoy a light box and worth the little I paid for it . Maybe you can take it to printer so they can darken it so you can see the pattern better. Have a great time embroidering

Love the above ideas. Many moons ago, I used a real light box at an applique class, quilt camp, to draw the outline onto charcoal hand dyed fabric. After that wonderful outcome, I decided the light box was in my future. I previously used a window for a celtic outline, that was a pain.
