How do you store your patterns/info??

I have been downloading a particular quilt each month for almost a year. I usually print out a copy but this time, I decided not to. I have too many patterns/projects taking up space.
well, my 8 yr old has been playing a game on my computer. He went to youtube to watch a video to find out how to unlock something in his game and...now my computer is dead--all my patterns/photos gone.........so, do you back everything up? I should have but I'm not sure how to...thoughts??

So sorry this happened to you. Hopefully you can find someone to restore your info.
I have a friend who used to put all of her downloads on floppy drives but they have gone the way of VHS tapes! LOL
You could put them on thumb drives and keep them in a "safe place". That way you can download and access the files as needed.
Maybe buy a few different ones for different patterns...red for traditional pieced, blue applique, pink paper piecing etc.
You would probably want to at least print out some sort of index for each little drive so that you know what is on it!
Good luck

I was saving mine on my computer and it started acting up so I printed all my saved patterns and put them in binders. When I had them all printed out, I deleted them from my computer. Lo and behold, my computer quit acting up!! Now if I find a pattern I want to keep, I just print it out immediately. Good luck on yours.
