I use it all the time. I use it when I see a pattern I like and use the graph paper to help me figure out how to replicate it. I have lots and lots of sketches with pencil patterns. I keep them in a file box. It simply takes the mystery out of some blocks. I find uses for it so frequently that it occupies a space on my sewing table. Though I am pretty computer savy I have not ventured in the EQ realm.
