I got a transparent legal-size clipboard at our local Staples - works great as a small light box.

Oh, thanks for mentioning the tape. I keep a little figure 8 of it on the top of my machines. When I trim threads, I park them on the tape. Keeps the threads off of the floor and my clothes, or getting back on the quilt.

Sounds like a great, cheap idea as my bobbins are always coming unwound!
