Marty's Tip for Stitching on Dark Fabric

Marty submitted this great tip about stitching on dark-color Cross Stitch fabric:

She writes:

"Instead of using a bright lamp, I use one of those little lamps that you use to read books by. I can clamp it onto my pattern book or my lap and adjust the light to shine up through the material. This really makes the holes pop out on dark fabric."
