    Thank you! I never thought about making pattern weights before. It's definitely something I could use since most of my straight pins went missing.

    Thanks for the pattern weight lesson. I have been using plain washers like this in different sizes for years now. My hubby just found some of these washers in his garage, but they were all rusty and nasty. This will work great to cover the nasty washers. They have been hanging around waiting for me to figure out how to cover them so I could use them. Thanks again for your idea. Now I can cover them and put them to good use.
