I haven't got a light box so I tape it up to a bright window! Free, natural lightbox. :-D This is a great tip - could be used for tracing quilting designs to sew through, I guess - I wonder how it would tear away? Have to try it! Also, my freezer paper (Reynolds) is good for several uses - I save all my little appliqué templates and reuse them again and again. :-D
I also used to tape things up on the window ....but now we don't have to because it really is very transparent after ironing it...I have also sewed thru it ...I think it would tear away easily. but wonder if the paper dulls the needle??....hugs SG
