Right now it seems like new acquisitions go to the bottom of your āMy Patternsā page. I can imagine that it could get quite filled and difficult to find items in.
Is there a way (or future plans) to allow users to organize our patterns in ways that make sense to only ourselves? Maybe somebody wants all their types of crafting separate, keep clothing separate or maybe they want to put all those granny squares together to āseeā how they look together as a blanket? Does it keep your WIP on top or mixed in?
Additionally, is there a way to mock up a variety of squares to see how theyād look together? Because I just saw some beautiful afghan blocksā¦(and now Iām back to filling my projects tabā¦)
This is definitely something weāre working to improve in future updates, and your input is really helpful! Iāve taken a note of this so we can look further into your suggestions.
At the moment, the quickest way to find a pattern if you have many is to use the search option although I agree it would be handy to have more options to sort patterns.
I sometimes copy images and mock them up so that I can see how theyād look in an afghan together. I have to do this manually by copy/pasting them into a file and size adjusting them all to get a better feel of how well they mesh and where they may look best placed.
So, for example, I grab afghan squares (#) from designers A, B & C. Copy/paste them into a file where I can view them all together and rearrange them until I find a pattern that works best.
Iāve seen a couple designers add color pages to test colors for their designs and you can cut those out and use them in a similar way. Just pre-planning before you get into the deep end.
@tygger428 thatās an excellent idea! I love to keep patterns organized in different folders or at list give them my own tags so I can search easily what I know I have stored some time ago
Not quite folders, but on our upcoming feature drop (stay tuned this Friday!) youāll be able to easily filter out specific patterns in your patterns library and wishlist.
Having said that, we are still going to look further into how we can better allow you to organize your patterns library in future updates
