Thanks everyone. I've used the lightbox technique but I'm not too happy with that. I find I can't see the pattern too well on dark fabrics. The light box I used was my boss's x-ray light box. Worked great on light fabrics but no so good on dark.

Thanks, gotta try this, I have been struggling with this.
