As MargB said, it has such an elegant appearance, compared to multicoloured designs.<br />I bought myself a light box recently, when it appeared in a mail order catalogue for half the price they are in shops. Too good an offer to ignore, even though I haven't used it yet.Gina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441105244235547066.post-8220768665135252242009-08-26T17:09:30.453+01:002009-08-26T17:09:30.453+01:00It's looking very good.It's looking very good.zetorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05912433866457968555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441105244235547066.post-59517654226898178432009-08-25T22:33:57.408+01:002009-08-25T22:33:57.408+01:00Alla Turca looks so elegant and gorgeous!Alla Turca looks so elegant and gorgeous!Elenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14427351215828623694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441105244235547066.post-34919899041558015232009-08-25T14:29:41.028+01:002009-08-25T14:29:41.028+01:00I love how the Alla Turca is coming along.
I ha...I love how the Alla Turca is coming along. <br /><br />I have an Ott lamp that I like for when it gets a bit darker here. I use sunlight when it's available but like my lamp at night. It took some getting used to a full spectrum light.Rudeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17889298704039071473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441105244235547066.post-62806404948464634762009-08-25T13:14:59.912+01:002009-08-25T13:14:59.912+01:00The Alla Turca is lovely! :0)The Alla Turca is lovely! :0)Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678326070918510419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441105244235547066.post-82709175250481087702009-08-25T13:12:52.430+01:002009-08-25T13:12:52.430+01:00Darn it!

That's such a pretty design.<br /><br />I'd definitely try the window trick before investing in the light box. Also you could trace the design on tissue and then baste the tissue to the work through the drawn lines. Tear the tissue away and embroider over your basting. Sometimes I embroider through the tissue without the basting stemp.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03509728430110361806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441105244235547066.post-82973476550505933292009-08-25T09:47:46.136+01:002009-08-25T09:47:46.136+01:00I still love this piece - it ahs such an elegant l...I still love this piece - it ahs such an elegant look about it. Have you tried a sunlit window as a lightbox? It works quite well - not as convenient but definitely cheaper!MargBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02933881017940842123noreply@blogger.com
