I save in folders by designer and subject and burn on cd and also keep on external hard drive. It is work after a download but I can find things easily :)

I used to keep them in alphabetical order but now sort them by designer. I have over 1000 charts and kits and it is easier to remember a designer than the name of a chart. I have them stored in magazine file boxes.
I've only just started my collection - so for now they are in their own folders in a folder marked Cross Stitch...not sure how I'll organise as my stash grows
Yo los guardo en carpetas con el nombre del diseño y el diseñador si lo se y lo acompaño con una fotografía con el mismo nombre, así puedo abrir un visor de imágenes y ver lo que tengo o buscar por el nombre del diseño. Me da buenos resultados :P
Lol! I laugh at myself-all you lovely stitchers are so organized! All my patterns are in a big box, and when I go looking, I dump it out and search! I love my method because I find stuff I forgot I had! It's like Christmas!!!;P
