Phillipa,


Here are a few "abecedarian" sentences I've saved:


<paraindent><param>left</param>=B7 Five men, using just pen knives, would
cut the sixty quills needed by a dozen calligraphers.


=B7 Six calligraphers, just amazed, watched children busily cutting quills
with their favorite pen knives.


=B7 Calligraphy requires just a very few basic needs: pen, ink, dexterity,
and most of all zeal.


=B7 Calligraphers see words as exquisitely moving, subtle thicks & thins,
zigzags & joins.

</paraindent>

But good quotes are more fun and more natural. (The word I *least* like
to letter is "responsibilities" :( I have to count the "i"s carefully and
spell it out loud or I'll never end it.)

 I have been using my wide-grid, see-through quilters rulers to line 
paper.
I  feel that it goes pretty fast that way, and  the ruler is wide enough 
to
 stretch all the way across the paper.
I like see-through rulers for some stuff (especially knotwork), but the 
ones
I  have are just plastic, and tend to slip if I'm not careful.  Are yours
nonslippery somehow? For most stuff I use a metal ruler with a cork 
backing.

I use those little felt (stick-on) circles on my rulers. I have used them
with my quilting and such. I found that they work well on paper, too. 
They
still slide somewhat but better than just the plastic against the paper.
