Nifty Notions Pattern Weights

Nifty Notions Pattern Weights are a time-saving alternative to using pins for holding down pattern pieces on fabric while you cut. Simply place these weights on your pattern paper, and they will keep the pattern flat and secure on the fabric without the need to pin through paper and fabric. This is especially helpful for delicate fabrics (which you might not want to pierce with pins) or slippery materials like silk and chiffon, as well as for thick or coated fabrics that are tough to pin. The weights have a good heft to them, so they stay in place even as you trace or cut, but they're compact enough not to get in the way of your scissors or rotary cutter. Using pattern weights can also prevent any distortion that sometimes happens when you pin patterns (like stretching or warping the fabric), ensuring more accurate cuts. Whether you're cutting out a complex garment with many pieces or just want to speed up your prep time, these pattern weights will make the process smoother and protect your fabric in the process.
