I'm a bit of a computer geek, so I entered all my patterns into Access, so I can sort them any way I wish. I print the database to take with me when I shop, so that I don't buy duplicates. For storage, I bought a 6-drawer plastic cabinet that works great!

I found, at staples, a unit, that has a pull out drawer, just the size to store patterns ( the long way,) but then you can easily thumb through them. These units are inexpensive, and stack on top of one another.I will try to remember to photograph the unti, and post it on my blog, as it seems lots of people need this solution! Barb

2008-06-27T11:22:00.000-07:00

I put mine in one of the drawers in those rolling plastic tower thingies... don't know what to call them. They are cheap, come in several sizes, and have casters on the bottom. I have four of them in my sewing room and they fit nicely under the extension table on my computer desk. I put UFOs, patterns, and kits in the drawers and label them. I can roll them out when needed, and like to go through the pattern drawer when I feel like I don't have enough UFOs already!!

You sure have a lot of friends willing to store the patterns for you! I won't offer to do that unless you really, really need me to!
I use the cardboard magazine holders that you can buy at the office supply stores. They come flat and you just open them up and start using them. There is a place to note what is in the container. I sort mine by designer. I also put quilt books in them if I have some by that particular designer. If I have only a pattern or two by a designer, I group some together and note it on the end of the container. I then store the containers on the book shelves along with other quilt books.
How many patterns constitute a squillion?

I use an old wooden crate that once held oranges for my patterns - it's the perfect size! If you run out of room for your patterns, you know I'll keep them for you!!

2008-06-14T21:15:00.000-07:00

Darlene you crack me up! And I'm thinking you might want a second guess, at who I'm going to meet next week. LOL. We shall see. LOL. Patterns. How are you storing them now ? How have you stored them in the past and why didn't it work?

2008-06-14T20:46:00.000-07:00

i bought report covers that are 3-holed punched and have 2 patterns in each side so i can see them all and put it in a 3ring binder

2008-06-14T14:55:00.000-07:00

I use containers that are rectangular so they will stand up in them. And I separate my redwork ones (cause I'm a redwork fanatic) into one by themselves, and group others as much as possible....clothing, purses/bags/totes, wallhangings, quilts, etc. Works best for me to be able to thumb through them and see them easily. Blessings,

2008-06-14T09:55:00.000-07:00

It seems most people either use the containers or binders. I've ended up using both trying to find the right system. I'd be very interested in what you come up with. This is a super post, good question.

2008-06-14T02:25:00.000-07:00

I do have two baskets, one with norwegian designers, other with foreign. All sorted by designer.

2008-06-14T01:27:00.000-07:00

I have mine in a rectangular plastic basket which can accommodate the width of a pattern. They can stand vertically in the basket so it's easy to look through them without taking them all out. I use one basket for quilt patterns, one for toy patterns etc.

2008-06-13T22:59:00.000-07:00

I say put them in a binder with plastic page protectors. Then you can see all of them.

2008-06-13T07:47:00.000-07:00

I do two things..one a binder with plastic sleeves. 2 per sleeve, back to back.

I also have a magazine file that I stick the really large ones into and sit on the shelf in the closet. I can grab them and the edge looks neat.

Hope that helps missy!

2008-06-13T06:46:00.001-07:00

I got the plain white cardboard magazine file boxes at Ikea. I have quilting magazines in them sorted by type and then I have several that just have quilt patterns in them. That way they are all together and I can just pull it down off the shelf and there they are. They are hidden away by a shelf of the same organziers. I like out of sight. You've got lots of good ideas here though.

2008-06-13T04:11:00.000-07:00

When Hallmark Cards has their card organizer boxes I will buy them for my patterns. What is nice is they have dividers by month so if you have seasonal patterns you can sort them that way...or not or create your own divider system. Works for me. I need another box come to think of it.

2008-06-12T22:30:00.000-07:00

Do they still sell those flattened cardboard boxes at Jo-Anns for patterns? That would work I would think.

2008-06-12T21:04:00.000-07:00

At the moment, mine are stacked on shelves in the bookcase. That isn't working well at all. I like the men's shoe box idea -- especially if sorted out a bit by designer or by type of pattern.
Will have to come back and see what other ideas you get.

2008-06-12T20:45:00.000-07:00

Hmm, I was just thinking about this subject last night as I dug through boxes of patterns for "THE ONE" I wanted! I can't wait to see what kind of ideas you get!

2008-06-12T17:45:00.000-07:00

2008-06-12T17:41:00.000-07:00

Wow....you do have a lot of patterns. I don't have near that many, so I just keep them in a file box on my shelf.

2008-06-12T17:10:00.000-07:00

Well I don't have a squillion, and you may not care for my idea but it works for me. Nails.. yes nails in the wall and sort patterns by categories and hang on the nails, or if light enough-straight pins. I use the straight pins to hang my quilting stencils. (and place the ones on top that you want to do first)When things are in sight I'm more likely to get them done!

2008-06-12T17:08:00.000-07:00

I have them sorted by type for the most part: Christmas, mini, vintage, etc. and stored in a drawer of a dresser in my sewing room. The immediate patterns I have in a couple of those plastic holders. There's always a few here and there, too.
Good luck!
