Tip of the Day: I once bought a single pattern printed on orange paper. How ridiculous I thought. Bright orange will be very hard on the eyes. I decided to experiment on a corner and to my great delight, when I added the usual blue peel-and-stick film, the two colours combined made a buff/light brown/dark beige antique-ish colour. This colour is very restful to look at and works well behind white threads and most colours. I now photocopy my patterns onto orange paper, if possible. I feel as if I am working on antique vellum prickings.
