Technical Question for Bob Or Shannon

[will8989]

Bob and/or Shannon, today was another day that I spent time looking through magazines looking for patterns. You see, I had a copy of the pattern in stacks sorted by item, boxes, baskets, 3D, etc., but not all of the pieces that went to the pattern. As I was looking through the magazines, and found some patterns I forgot about but want to try so it wasn't a complete waste of time, I came up with an idea! When you print the patterns could you put the Issue# in the pattern piece? That way I would know (and others like me) to go to Issue #24 or #5 or whatever for the pattern? Just a thought to make a great magazine even greater!

Great idea i think that happens here too very often mag goes one way pattern goes another. Computer desk is full of patterns that don t have another home

Fantastic idea.

I'd be very much in favour of that too ... my pattern/magazine filing system is ... um ... well not really a system ... Anything that helps my tendency towards chaos would be welcome ....

my filing system is known as 'stacking , by dr suess" .Im not very organized at all! Dale

[will8989]

Well, I started with a great system, copying the index and filing it in a 3 ring binder, but somehow got behind on that. Luckily the pattern I was looking for had a picture in the index so I could find it easily instead of reading through each issue looking for it. By the way, it was the swan box in issue 14. I want to make it again to carry for my Mother's Day shows.

I see they aren't responding to this. Do you think we've been put on the "back burner"?

We're discussing it...sorry, I thought I posted that...I'm turning 30 this month, and they say the mind is the second thing to go...I can't remember what the first is...

I am not giving you any hints on what the first one was!!!

Thanks Bob, and no comments!

Diane! I didn't realise you knew Bob so intimately.

Bob,
I like the idea the others have suggested! I don't remember which is first to go & which is second, but I turn 55 today & I can tell you what it is like when it all goes!

[will8989]

Has there been any decision made on this, Bob?

I always thought small pictures on the index page of every project would be a very helpful way for people to quickly find what they're looking for. Then, rather than having to flip through all the magazines, you could quickly just go to the one page of each magazine and find the one they're looking for more quickly.

Shannon hasn't gotten back to me on the patterns, Betty.

As far as a photo of all the projects in the magazine, we've talked about that in the past, and just can't make the Table of Contents look even half-way attractive using all the photos. We've tried several options, but our newsstand consultant puts the nix on it every time.
