Default Quilter's Fabricalc?

Do any of you use the Quilter's Fabricalc? I purchased one
YEARS ago when Joann's had a 50% off sale PLUS they allowed
for a coupon to be used (during the holidays).

So I am wanting to know is how often do you use this calculator
to figure out yardage and such?


Reason I am asking is because I am at a crossroads on if I want
to keep it and try to use it or do I want to get rid of it.

Never bought one because I can figure it out on my own.

One reason I have never used it is because I have EQ7 so when
ever I decide to design a quilt it is usually with that and I can get
all my measurements and yardage from that.

I only ever use mine as a basic calculator. Never took the time to figure out all the other stuff it can do

I have been tempted but I would want to try it before I bought one. I have EQ5 and the calculations are a little MORE than I actually need.

I bought the app for my iPad but never took the time to figure it out. I use EQ7 or the free app from Robert Kaufman. Much simpler.

I have one that I got for almost nothing from a store that was discontinuing it. I have never figured out how to use it. I use the Robert Kaufman app on my iPad constantly. It calculates everything I need and it was free,
