Why would scanning be a violation of Copyright laws if it is for personal use and not intended for sale? I would like to know because I love the scanning idea. That much less paper to keep up with
|
I photocopy the patterns and store in a binder in sleeves, then I pass the magazine to friends.
I separate them them in sections, piecing, applique, quilting, and tips. It makes it much easier for me to find what I am looking for this way. |
Tear out the pattern I want to keep, place in clear plastic
protectors and place in large notebook. Also have main sheet to divide book into different sections. Ex-Children- Holiday's-Animals etc. I throw away all the rest of the magazine. They have so many patterns on the internet that I no longer buy quilting magazines.I have tons of patterns and couldn't make all of these if I lived to be 100 years old. Ha Ha. Betty Lee |
I WENT THRU MY MAGAZINES - TORE OUT THE PATTERNS I WANTED
GOT PLASTIC PAGES AND PUT EACH IN A PLASTIC PAGE I THEN ORGANIZED BED QUILTS I REALLY LIKED TO OK LAP QUILTS MOST LIKED TO OK SPECIALITY HOLIDAY - PURSES -TABLE RUNNERS-CLOTHING ETC THEY CAME OUT REALLY WELL I ALSO PUT A NOTE BOOK TOGETHER FOR STENCIL DESIGNS - ASSEMBLY DIRECTINS ETC |
A friend of mine just recommended a zip drive I would scan the pattern then load it when I want a pattern just look it up and print. She said literally thousands can go on one. Haven't done it yet but did buy the drive it sounds good then I can sell the magazines.

a copier will do it the right size, I have an all in one printer, that makes copies and enlarges or reduces.

Others take out the pattern they want to make and store that in a binder. You can use page protectors to keep the pages nice. Then you can keep the magazine or toss it |
I cut them out, punch with 3 hole punch, and save in a notebook binder. I classify with tabs: Log Cabins, Applique, Curves, Free Motions Quilting, Threads (lots of advice re threads), Paper Piecing etc

I use the sheet protectors and binders. The only problem I have is when I want to keep more than one pattern and the folded up part with the actual "patterns" on it has them printed on both sides of the pattern... keeping the two (or more) patterns together with the quilt design is sometimes tricky. hmmmm, maybe I should just right then copy the shapes to freezer paper.. then I could keep it with the quilt design.
Help, someone, with a better plan!? |
