I am always open to new ways, but they need to be proven. I still use lots of paper for lists and notes. Doing my shopping list on my iPad was horrible. I couldn't cross things off as I bought them. I love my food processor, but my knives are more efficient than many of the specialty tools that I have purchased for my kitchen. What would I do without my rotary cutter and my rulers? I only completed one large quilt with templates. I have completed hundreds using my quilting tools.
