This is the coolest link I have found in the smocking world so far! I have wondered where to purchase smocking graph paper to create and write my own designs. I've seen really expensive programs on the internet--but it NEVER occurred to me to use excel to create my own template! The above link is a tutorial that walks one step by step through the process--and then gives you a down-loadable file to create your graphs with--for free.
Here are some links to some personal-use-only free smocking plates:
