When you generate a made-to-measure pattern, you can tweak it endlessly, and export it to a variety of formats, including PDF.\ But it remains ephemeral until you save it to your account, so it becomes one of **your patterns**.

Saving your pattern is optional, but it allows you to re-visit the pattern later, make further tweaks to it or simply download the PDF again.

Vous pouvez enregistrer autant de patrons que vous le souhaitez.

##### Patrons vs Designs

Si vous êtes venu sur ce site à la recherche de *patrons* vous pourriez les avoir trouvés sous *designs*.
It's not a super important distinction, but it helps to understand that:

-   **Design**: One of the styles that we offer. We've got dozens of designs, and you can try them all
-   **Pattern**: The result of generating one of those styles into a pattern. Nous avons des milliers de patrons stockés pour nos utilisateurs, et certains pourraient être les vôtres
