Deann Posted October 4, 2006 Report Posted October 4, 2006 I was quilting a busy patchwork quilt today and I could not see where I had been. Is there something I could do to help in this case? The quilt contained so many colors that any color would fade out somewhere.
Bonnie Posted October 4, 2006 Report Posted October 4, 2006 As I have gotten older I have a problem with darker colors...navy and black....I use a bright floor light and shine it right on the quilt and it seems to make my life way easier. May be this will help you as well.
jeri Posted October 5, 2006 Report Posted October 5, 2006 Sometimes a side lighting or even turning off the overhead lights and just quilting with the light on the machine will make the texture stand out and you can see better. I know that sounds backwards. If your lights are on a dimmer switch try turning them way down. If you are quilting with white on a light background try putting in a black light on your machine (available at Wal*Mart for about $8.00) sometimes the light will make the thread show up. jeri
