What is the best way to store my Peony Patterns PDF files?

When you purchase a Peony Patterns PDF pattern, you are purchasing a digital pattern for your personal use. Once you download the files, that downloaded file is your copy, so we strongly recommend saving it somewhere safe rather than relying on the original download link.

The best option is to download your pattern to your computer or device and then keep a backup in a cloud-based storage service such as Google Drive, Dropbox or iCloud. This means that if you replace your computer, lose a device or accidentally delete a file, you still have your own copy safely stored.

A simple way to organise your patterns is to create a Peony Patterns folder and save each pattern in its own folder. Keep all of the files supplied with the pattern together, including the tutorial, print-at-home pattern pieces, A0/copyshop files and projector files where included.

Your Peony Patterns account also keeps a record of your purchases and allows you to download your purchased patterns again when needed. A download limit automatically applies to purchases; however, if you reach your limit, please contact our customer service team and we can assist.

We recommend treating your Peony Patterns account as a convenient way to access your purchases rather than your only form of file storage. Download your pattern, save your own copy and back it up.

If a pattern you have purchased is updated, the updated files will be made available through your Peony Patterns account so you can download and save the latest version.

A little tip: You don’t need to print the tutorial! Save it to your tablet, phone or computer and refer to it while you sew. Having the digital copy handy is also great when you’re shopping for fabric and need to quickly check fabric requirements.
