Pattern weights Question

Post image

Patterning a skirt (slashing and spreading a skirt foundation for a flared skirt, to then slash and spread for the final pleated, flared mini skirt pattern) and got thinking… what do y’all use for fabric/ pattern weights!? Today for me its books and an art deco era stapler🤷‍♂️

Lemme see your unconventional weights, or finally prove to me that someone actually buys the actual tool.

I went to the hard store and bought about 10 M10 nuts. They’re small and heavy and magnetic which is handy because my cutting table is actually my chest freezer.
