I save mine in the sheet protectors also, but I had a hard time trying to find a specific pattern when I wanted it. I then got the bright idea to use a lined sheet, and wrote the names of the patterns on it, and slid that sheet under the plastic front cover. This not only helped to tell me which binder it is in, but if I remove a pattern, it tells me where to put it back. When I did this, I found that there were some patterns that I had liked so well that there were 2 or 3 of the same patterns, lol.
