Product Information
Full details
The Prym Love Pin Cushion & Fixing Weight in Orange is designed for sewists who need a stable way to hold patterns and fabrics in place during projects. Its primary benefit is providing a secure, non-slip grip, especially useful for delicate materials. A minor consideration is its relatively small size, which may require multiple units for larger fabric pieces. This product combines the functionality of a traditional pin cushion with the utility of a fabric weight.

FAQs
What is the primary use of this product?
It serves as both a pin cushion for storing pins and needles, and as a fixing weight to hold patterns and fabrics in place during sewing and cutting.
Can this be used on any type of fabric?
Yes, it is compatible with most fabric types, but it is particularly useful for fine, slippery, or delicate materials where pins might leave marks or cause distortion.
How heavy is the fixing weight?
The weight is designed to be substantial enough to hold fabrics securely without being overly cumbersome for typical sewing tasks.
How do I clean the Prym Love Pin Cushion & Fixing Weight?
Wipe the surface with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or immerse it in water.
What are the dimensions of the fixing weight?
The diameter is approximately 6cm.
Does it come with pins?
The product description indicates it includes 1 x Prym - Prym Love Orange Fixing Weight (6cm) Pin Cushion - 1 Unit. Pins are typically sold separately unless specified.
Are there other colors available?
Yes, Prym offers this type of fixing weight in other colors, such as Kiwi (Green) and Melon, as well as a classic Tomato pin cushion.
Troubleshooting
Fabric still slips slightly.
Ensure the surface the weight is placed on is flat and clean. For very large fabric areas, consider using multiple weights.
Difficulty inserting pins.
This is normal as the base is weighted. Twist the pin slightly as you insert it. The top surface is designed for pin storage, not deep insertion like a soft cushion.
Weight feels insufficient for very thick materials.
This product is optimized for medium to light-weight fabrics. For thicker materials, additional weights or traditional pinning methods may be more effective.
