You might be interested in checking out http://www.pattern-file.com/ --it enables you to virtually file and then find all your patterns (I use it for quilting patterns too) on your computer. I then store the actual patterns in plastic file boxes according to company and pattern number. You can do a search for type, brand, or whatever criteria you want and then locate the actual pattern quickly and easily.

This is a great technique for about 300 - 400 patterns. I don't have near that many and lots of people have way more than that. I don't think I could ever use that many - ever. Thank goodness I never got too involved in making things from patterns. When I was younger I used to sew clothes - but now I just quilt. I probably only have about 40 patterns total, So I am able to keep them all in one drawer - thank goodness.

That's a neat idea!

Most of my patterns are printed from my computer and were free.
I have a file crate that you hang files in. Label each file like blocks, children, holiday etc. It works for me. |
