Pattern Weight with Handle, 1500 g – Reddish-Brown Decorated Shell

A pattern weight with a reddish-brown trimmed shell

A 1500-gram pattern weight with a mushroom-shaped grip and a metal body with a silver finish, the side of which is wrapped in a reddish-brown shell with a leather look. On the shell there is a floral relief of leaves and frills, in the traditional decoration style of embedded leather, with tonal differences between the protruding and recessed parts. This is the familiar look from old leather workshops, and in this sense the pattern weight feels at home next to awls, stamps and leather knives.

In function, it does what a weight for cutouts should do: sits on a pattern or piece of fabric and holds it in place while marking and cutting, without puncing. In leather, suede and faux leather, this is critical, because every hole of the pin remains. The weight is enough to stabilize a pattern on thick leather, and the handle allows it to be lifted and placed without touching the material.

Leather embossed with floral relief is a style with a long tradition of leather work, and you can see it on belts, saddles, wallets and pouches. A pattern weight decorated in the same language is suitable for a workshop whose design is based on handwork, and those who photograph the work process for networks or host clients in the workshop get a tool that looks good in front of the camera as well. The warm shade blends with natural leather, wood and brass tools.

Common Uses

• Leather workshop: Holding a mold on leather while marking with an awl and a silver pen, and while cutting with a knife.

• Bags and belts: Fixing long parts, such as straps and panels, before cutting.

• Fabric cutting: Holding cut parts on fabric, even when working with a roller.

• Copying Cutouts: Holding a cut and copy paper together while moving lines and markings.

• Studio display: A work item that is displayed on a table or shelf, and fits the atmosphere of a handmade studio.

Who is it suitable for

For owners of leather workshops, manufacturers of bags, wallets and belts, tailors and models who love tools with character, and for those who are looking for a practical gift for a person who works with leather or fabric. It also fits into a designed workspace, along with other sewing equipment.

Pro Tips

• On leather, place the pattern weight on the pan itself, close to the cutting line. This way the pan doesn't rotate as the knife passes by it.

• When cutting a long strap, combine at least two pattern weights, one at each end.

• Decorated shell It is better to wipe with a soft, dry cloth; relief accumulates dust between the lines.

• Do not place the pattern weight directly on wet or damp skin while working, so as not to leave a mark on the surface of the skin.

• Lift with the handle and place on top. Dragging moves the pan off the marked line.

Common mistakes

• Cut when the weight is far from the line. The pan moves in the area where the knife works.

• Leave the pattern weight in direct sunlight on a windowsill for a long time. Materials with a natural shade tend to turn pale.

• Remove the pan before all holes, folds, and attachment points have been marked.

How is this model different from the other pattern weights in the series

The series has two 1500-gram pattern weights with a shell decorated with a relief: this one, in a warm reddish-brown shade, and another model in a dark shade of green that tends to black. Another model of the same weight has a smooth orange shell with a white stitch, and there is also a solid silver model without a shell. For easier work, the 700-gram pattern weight without a handle is suitable, and for stabilizing the base of a dress form, the 1230-gram flat disc is suitable.
