I've never tried using pattern weights instead of pins, but this will give me a good excuse to try!

Love the idea because they'll be easy to find, easy to use and not tear holes in paper or bunch up fabric. Especially if you are using a rotary cutter.

These are nice. I also sometimes put a bit of magnet in a pincusion. A little extra insurance against pins falling out, and handy for picking them up if they do.

Cute. I didn't even know I needed pattern weights. I like idea of using magnets instead of the washers by one of the previous posters. Very practical.

I like the idea from mjcuddihy 2946336 of using magnet instead of a washer for the weight.

so cute. Instead of using a washer, if you glue a magnet to a piece of card stock then the batting, you can store them on your refrigerator!
