I’m working on this new piece on black aida and I’m making pretty slow progress just because it’s difficult to see what I’m doing.

I’m sitting by a pretty bright light and working over a brightly colored tray and that’s helping some, but I wondered if anyone knew any other tricks to working with darker fabrics?

The only thing I’m finding online is people saying to use a light box, but I really don’t want to invest that much if I can help it

    That does look like a good option! I have all my patterns on a big 12" tablet that I do sometimes use to see what I’m doing, but parts of the pattern are pretty dark so it doesn’t always work… It doesn’t help that this new pattern has a lot of dark blue/dark purple on black lol
