Hey guys!
First, big thanks for this site, there is a lot of really nice content here :)
Second, being an embroidery noob, are there any best practices for organizing your personal pattern collection (naming conventions, tools, ...)?
Greetings from Germany!

There are software programs for categorizing. Check out SewCat here. I use SewWhat Pro-an editing program- and SewIconz-which makes every design on my computer show up as a picture with design information.
Plus, they have the greatest support ever.

32948Thank you so much for the kind words everybody, you guys seriously rock! :)
After digging through some of the existing organizers, I feel like they are either really expensive (over $100?!), or require me to manually sort and rename all my files.
Besides playing around with embroidery, I am also a computer science student and would really love to apply some of that hard earned knowledge and give back to the community. So I am thinking of building an online embroidery collection software with builtin image recognition. As a result you could search for 'cat' and get all cat files, without having to sort them first! And because its online, you get free backups :)
Do you guys have any thoughts on this? Would somebody be interested in that?
128Good morning and a big welcome to you......my biggest advice would be to keep your designs organized as soon as you acquire them......I am so bad at this of late and now I have a huge mess, so take the time to categorize and you will thank yourself for doing this!! Best of luck in your new endeavor......Vicki aka Basketkase
