This is what I do. I love it. I can make a disc or a flash drive copy of my computer file so I don't loose it if the computer crashes.
I started doing this years ago. To me it is against a sacrilege to tear something out. This way I can recycle the complete magazine to friends. It was awful to receive a magazine where the part I wanted was already removed. {Ever have that happen at a doctor's office: you find a promising recipe or something but it is ripped out!]
Also, some places I have lived we have had silverfish and other 'critters' that like to nest in paper. Ugh!
This way I have more room for - gasp - fabric.
