One of the best purchases I have ever made was my comb binding machine. I am a dedicated needle artisan; knitting and quilting are my passions and I have many supplies including lots of patterns. The volume can easily become unmanageable. I now bind my patterns into appropriate groupings by designer or theme. I am active in a group which makes quilts for military veterans so I have all the patterns dedicated to that type of quilt in two or three volumes carefully comb bound. I recommend the method to any hobbyist with lots of paper to organize.
