Pattern holders?

My mum saw something where you had a magnetic board and then strips of magnets to hold the pattern on, but have never since it more than once.

I use spring clips and fasten the pattern directly to my work a lot of the time so that it is always right in from of me.But with the ability to convert most patterns into a PDF i also use an ipad when I can supersize the design so I don't have to strain as much to see the pattern I am working on.

You can use needle minders to hold your pattern on your project (if on a frame) or even just on some stiff card.I have one of the old magnetic boards, and strip magnets.They were great.You can buy magnetic strips on a roll (3m) on amazon.

I recently purchased a 12-inch square magnetic board and 4-heavy duty circular magnets to hold the pattern area I am working on. To follow my stitches I use magnetic stripes and a highlighter. The circular magnets double as a needle minder.
