I have tried to quit buying magazines, as I have way too many patterns, ideas, etc. now. Plus with all the free patterns out there.......

Check your county library's website for magazines. Our county library has many (98) different digital subscriptions that are available to patrons. There is not expiration date or limit on them. The software that they send the magazines through is Zinio. There are sewing and quilting magazines available, along with lots of other ones too.

Wouldn't you know it? My library has magazines devoted to almost everything, including tattoos, but not quilting!

How easy is it to use the scanner on iPad? What does it cost?

I use the large index cards.
Title of mag at top.
One line with date of mag and pg # short discription.

I don't have an Ipad but friend does and I am sure she would love to use it. Does it come with Ipad or is it a program?

I use to use a flat bed scanner. It worked ok, but was slower and required more work than the iPad app.

Good Luck,

Steve, do you have to pay a monthly fee for this app?

I tear out what I like. I buy the see through notebook inserts, slip them in the plastic insert, and put them in large spiral ring notebooks. You could have a notebook for runners, one for quilts, wall hangings etc. I've found the large business notebooks at sales for 50 cents each.

I do the same thing--works great!!!

I've been doing this for years. I only tear out the pictures and directions for items I KNOW I may want to do some day. Then when I need a pattern I just curl up with my looseleaf notebook and peruse all the possibilities . Having had my computer crash and lose everything twice this works out best for me.

I rip them out and put in plastic sleeves in binders for stars; rectangles; squares; triangles; scrap quilts. I put all instructions applicable in the sleeve. It took a little time because I use to just keep all the quilt magazines but that got kind of messy. I am happy with the new system but I am beginning to think I need to go through the binders and get rid of some stuff too :)
