Great product, but...
...for a LOT less money, I went to the hardware store and bought large flat metal washers. I got ten of them for just a few bucks, and they're perfect for holding paper patterns in place! Then I decided to make fancy pattern weights, so I went back to the hardware store and bought a dozen big nuts. I placed each nut in the center of a four inch circle of fabric, and pulled the fabric edges up over the nut and pushed them down into the center of the nut. I pushed in a small button to secure the fabric in the nut, and voila! A dozen super cute pattern weights for less than five bucks! I'm sure the Dritz product works fine, but unless you've got money to burn, head to Lowes or Home Depot.
