Add a pattern once, and you can find it again in seconds. And stop buying patterns you already have. Before you check out at a pattern shop, search your stash to see if you already own it, or one that's an awful lot like it. Patternizer also gives you a heads-up when a pattern you're adding looks like one already in your collection.
