Remember you do not have to print every pattern out that you like. Just save and when you going to make that quick print. Ink is expense.
Go to your Library before you bought. By at Garage Sale, Good Will etc.
I love just reading and looking at Quilt books.
I bought too many(too much money), join mail book clubs. Nice books but I never will use them.
Out of all of my books the ones that I go back and use over and over are:
Rodale's Successful Quilting Library Have book on every topic of quilting. Google them or seen if your Library has them before you buy any.
