I tend to make my own graph paper as the pads they sell in shops A4 are too small and I can't find larger sheets. I have Eq7 but can't use it on my iPad waiting for the pennies for a laptop to load it on.

Graph paper remains handy in my sewing room. I have been "googling" EQ7 for information but I don't think I'm ready to make the plunge. I'm not sure I would put it to good use yet...I still have a lot of patterns that I've purchased still waiting in the wings.

Nope! I use it all the time as well.

I'd have to stop quilting if my graph paper were taken away from me. I print out the size I need on the computer. Lately I have been using the exact quarter-inch graph paper for freezer-paper piecing.

Nope, you are not. But I had to be reminded of it by my brother who is a builder. On a visit to his house I mentioned that I had been puzzling over how to design a baseball field quilt and he pulled out his graph paper pad. That was a 'duh moment'. I always want to find a pattern but end up making adjustments anyway.

I find it so helpful for designing and planning. I have an older version of EQ, but really don't have the time to learn it. Graph paper is right at my level of computer expertise!

I use it all the time, along with my colored pencils.

Graph paper - inexpensive, easily changed, no learning curve, portable

I don't know if you have graph paper grids for hexagons and kaleidoscopes and other patterns, but while I was researching what to do with all my GOOB sale templates, I found that Marti Michell has a ton of free grids on her page. (No affil, just enjoying my templates).
