(No agencies please) PATTERN WEIGHTS WWW.PATTERNWEIGHTS.CO.UK A PRACTICAL AND ATTRACTIVE SOLUTION Pattern Weights, as the name suggests, weigh down your pattern pieces without the need for pins. So when you are tracing or cutting a pattern instead of having to pin the paper to the fabric you place the weights on top so the pattern piece is flat and then trace or cut around the edge. Not only does this save you time, but it also helps preserve your pattern pieces as they won’t be full of pin holes. Also pinning can distort fabrics slightly, whereas pattern weights keep it flat for you. Available in 3 different sizes and weights (40mm/48 grams, 50mm/75 grams, 60mm/105 grams) 1000’s of designs to choose from Corporate Branding- Your business name and logo on the weights Become a stockist For your nearest Stockist or Distributor please get in touch.
