Gawdzilla Report post Posted January 1, 2011 I noted elsewhere that you can have patterns printed from disk at a professional copy shop, as well as having large patterns scanned to a file. There's another way to save a back-up copy of your patterns, by using a digital camera. I use a Nikon Coolpix 12.1 megapixel camera and a stand I built myself. (See here for pictures of the stand.) You can put a camera on the stand and get plumb pictures of patterns up to 4 feet on a side easily. For really big patterns I put them on the floor and use the stand on a table.
