When I need to reverse a pattern and use steam a seam. I trace the picture on the wrong side of the steam a seam. Put the blank side up. Then lay it down on a piece of white paper, see the lines and trace on the correct side. So easy and it works for me.

thanks for the idea

It does work, the thing to remember is to mark the front when you do it the second time on the right side. As you have a pattern on both sides.

It might take a bit more time, doing the tracing twice, but not enough to make that much difference. In fact I was doing it that way just last night.

If you live near an ikea they have lighted shelfs that go on sale alot if you wanted a light box. I bought one of the shelves for $20 and it's perfect!

If you have a plexie table for your sewing machine you can use that as well. I put those battery tap on lites under it like a friend told me and it works fine !!
