Default Graph Paper

Does anyone - besides me - still use graph paper for designing and figuring things out?

​I use it all the time for figuring out pieced blocks.

Me, too! I guess I like the "hands on" approach, if you will.

Me, too. I really like to be able to see how the blocks and details will fit together.... the overall size, etc. I design things in my brain but when it gets put to graph paper, I can determine the sizing details.

I do! I have EQ7 and I use that too, but with graph paper it is often easier for me to doodle and be creative.

Usually I "create" on paper, then remake my final design in EQ7 to play with colors.

I do. My brain doesn't always want to understand how the computer drawing programs work. I'm more "hands" on than "brain" on.

I never make anything without grafting it first!
