Fabric Weights - Daisy - Pack of 4

Once you’ve cut with pattern weights, you won’t want to go back to pins. Set a weight on your pattern piece and it stays exactly where you put it, so you can cut around it with both hands free and your pattern flat and steady. There’s no pinning, no unpinning and no stabbing your fingers.

They’re brilliant on delicate fabrics. Pins can snag fine weaves and leave tiny holes and marks, and with weights none of that happens, so satin, viscose and other fabrics that show every mark stay perfect. The weights also help the fabric lie flat naturally while you cut, which means your pieces come out neater and more accurate.

Each double sided weight is a generous 75g, 5cm across and 5mm thick. They’re heavy enough to hold your pattern firmly, and slim enough to sit neatly on it. They come in a handy storage tin, so they stay together in your sewing room and travel easily to classes and workshops.

Whether you sew dresses, make bags or cut patchwork templates, pattern weights are one of those small tools that makes every cutting session easier. Once you own a set, you’ll reach for them every time.

What you get

• Double sided weights: designed to secure your pattern to the fabric while you cut
• A flatter lay: they help the fabric settle and lie flat naturally, so your pieces are cut more accurately
• Kind to delicate fabrics: no pins means no snags and no pin marks
• A storage tin: keeps the weights together, and makes them easy to carry to a class, a workshop or a friend’s house
