You're half way home! The standard software may not get you what you want and need.
Many times you may find patterns and MPCs (designed projects), which are free, right here on the forum. They are all over the forum, but many are in the Pattern Sharing section. The old area was a catch-all of thousands, many with poor naming conventions. This link gets you there.

In January of 2011, members and LHR started an attempt to split out newer offerings in to sub categories. Several rules/suggestions are listed in the Read-me at the top of the list. It breaks the offerings in to subs (and more may be added as needed) that attempt to narrow our searching. Here is a quick link to this part of the forum.

You may also purchase patterns and projects via the Pattern Depot. Here is a quick link to that area.

The vendor list on the left allows you to zoom to a particular vendor (if you have a favorite) allowing you to just see his/her offerings. Either way, you may refine your search to find what you seek.
I, also, suggest that you consider buying the "Probe" package. I allows you to copy/scan actual items with the CW probe tip by which you develop your own pattern. This package includes the Pattern Editor software, which allows you to modify the patterns you make. Pattern editor may be bought without the probe, but the extra $50.00 for the entire package, is well worth the cost.
My "Download" link, below, takes you to lots of lessons/offerings by myself and others, including LHR areas of learning.
Enjoy your new found activities!
