SBQ: Print it out or stitch from screen?

1

Category : Needlework, SBQ


First, a ran­dom thought:
“I like liv­ing. I have some­times been wildly, despair­ingly, acutely mis­er­able, racked with sor­row, but through it all I still know quite cer­tainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.” Agatha Christie
And now, the actual content:

This week’s Stitch­ing Blog­gers’ Ques­tion is:

When you stitch a pat­tern that you have down­loaded do you print out
the pat­tern or do you stitch directly from your com­puter screen?

I don’t remem­ber actu­ally stitch­ing any of the many pat­terns I’ve down­loaded. The­o­ret­i­cally, though, I’m sure I’d print them out, and prob­a­bly put the print­out in a clear page pro­tec­tor. I like to keep my cur­rent pat­tern in my stitch­ing bag, and the mon­i­tor just isn’t a good fit :-)

I lost most of the pat­terns I’d col­lected online over the years when my lap­top died, unfor­tu­nately. I think maybe I should print them out after down­load­ing them, and put them in a note­book kept with the rest of my pat­terns. That way I’d be more likely to remem­ber them when I’m look­ing for an idea, too.

(I’m glad to see the SBQ back. I didn’t get a mes­sage from the list last week, and maybe not the week before.)

I think I’d only ever stitch some­thing tiny from the screen — stitch­ing is usu­ally a portable project for me.
