Thank you so very much for the idea of the Doodle Pad. I am a hand quilter, and think this is a good way to audition quilting patterns for us too. I am just a beginner at machine quilting, and can see where this will help us all. I'd gotten a dry erase board and the pens to try doodling as a practice, and this goes just a little bit farther and shows what the quilt will look like. GREAT!!! I also found you can get the dry erase pens a lot cheaper at Dollar Tree Stores, if anyone is interested and has one nearby. Everything there is $1.00. Thanks again for sharing your tip.
