Click File and save pattern to library, you will be asked for the favorites folder to save it under. Choose the folder and the name, and click save.

I assume you are talking about the Pattern Editor (PE). To save to your favorites list, you "Save Pattern to Library..." under the "File" menu. You have to give it a name and then it will be in your favorites list.

OK, I have gotten that far now this is the question that I have, how do I get that file to come up where it is on the patterns side where that has the overlay for the pattern that was saved into pattern editor ? I hope I explained that right.

When U have the pattern in pattern editor, Choose " SAVE TO LIBRARY " U can select and name a new category or U can choose an existing category.. Highlight the category and it will show whats in that category ( if not new ).. U name ur pattern in the space at the bottom and it will be placed into the category U selected .... Open designer, open ur patterns, select the category U save the pattern to and VALLA there it is .....

this is the pattern I'm trying to do so now I'm asking how to get the puff tool to light up

What you have there is just a pattern. The puff tool works on closed curves. You would have to do a lot of tracing to create all the closed curves for this pattern. I am afraid you have bitten off more than you can chew. More than most any of us could chew. That is a about the most difficult graphic to convert to a carvable pattern that I have ever seen. I played with it for awhile and gave up.
