    Default ----Please Read Before Posting Pattern----

    Please help us keep these shared pattern files useful and organized.

    • Include screenshot of image
    • Use naming structure to more easily identify pattern
    • Try to avoid zipped files
    • Post .ptn file
    • Place pattern in appropriate category

    A screenshot is worth a thousand words. Please take the time to attach a good quality image (screenshot) of the pattern from your software. This is a big time-saver when people are looking for something. Even if you're posting it for a particular person and they already know what it is, there will be countless other visitors in the future that look at the file and say "Hmm... I wonder what this pattern looks like".

    A descriptive file name and link are extremely helpful. A pattern named "Tobsf_133.ptn" simply cannot be found unless a user stumbles across it, downloads it, imports it, and sees it. A more helpful file name, like "mountain-scenery-with-lake.ptn" is a much, much better choice. Try to categorize and then add more descriptive words. Example: frames_western or frames_babyboy

    Try to avoid zip files unless necessary. If you're posting more than one at a time, try to post them individually instead of as a zip file. This is a big time-saver for someone wanting a particular pattern. Zip files should be used for collections that are intended to be used or viewed together.

    Post *.PTN files, not *.MPC files if possible. It's a cleaner and more versatile way for transfer and storage of patterns.

    Please try to place your pattern in the appropriate category. If we need more categories, please let me know.
