I really love being able to walk into my sewing room and just see everything. I know what I have, even without the program, because I get a reminder everytime I walk in there. I also think it helps creativity to see it all laid out in front of me all the time, because my brain works on "combinations" all the time. I tried hiding my stash in the closet, it didn't work for me. The program is great for me when I'm away from the house and thinking, "I think I have fabric and thread for that, but do I have enough?", then I have yardages, colors and fabric patterns to look at and don't end up buying more of something I already have.
