I have printed out a few patterns but I found myself not using them and it used up a whole lot of ink. And then one time I was shopping with my mother and we went to Staples. She bought a whole case of paper and I don't know how many ink cartridges. Then I took a hard look at her "office." My sister and I are going to have to rent one of those giant dumpsters just to haul away all the tons and tons of emails and cross stitch patterns and who knows what else she's printed out.
Now I have folders and save ideas I may want to use on the computer. If it disappears before I get around to doing it, oh well, there are another thousand new ideas to take its place!
