    I use it all of the time. When I was in Office Depot and found it spiral bound ($3). I change patterns a lot and keep one close. I have EQ7, but for my needs this is much faster.

    I love to use graph paper when I am designing a label for the back of a quilt. I print the words to go on the label and I know they are on a straight line and evenly spaced. I then use a light box and a perma pen to write the message on the quilt label.

    I use it regularly, and I teach my 4-H'rs to use it. It's cheap and available to everyone; no need to spend more time on a computer when I could be "coloring" instead!

    I like the suggestion for drawing a design in black and white - and then making copies to color.
