Downloading free patterns is almost as bad as hoarding fabric and I do both!! I'll never be able to use all of the patterns I have but I figure if they are free, there is really no reason not to "collect" them. I don't print them. I have them filed in folders by where I found them (I get a lot from the fabric manufacturers). It's an addiction that costs nothing but a little space (well, maybe more than a little) on the backup drive!
