    Rather than print it, I save a picture and the link in a computer folder named "Quilt Ideas". It takes up less space, and if I remember to give it a name that makes sense to me, I'll be able to find it a lot faster than I would a paper copy. Printing only makes sense if you are afraid you're going to be snowed in with no power for several weeks, and then only if you have a treadle machine. The price of an ink cartridge for my printer would buy several yards of fabric!

    I used to print tons of patterns as I found them on the internet. Now I "save" them to a folder on my desktop until I get them copied to a disc. Takes up less room and if I do decide to make 1 of them, it is easily pulled up.

    Why not save a PDF in a special folder on your computer and print it out when you finally make it. Saves a lot paper and closet space & it's easier to find.

    How about taping quilting shows on the DVR?
