Hey, does anyone know of anything you can buy to hold your pattern in place, like when you have 2 sheets that you are working across?

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.

Any suggestions would be great

That is a LoRan board - last time I saw one for sale was in Hobbycraft. I have 3 of them - 2 large and one small for travelling.

Like Red1....... I also use a Loran board , but my friend uses a metal rectangle food tray with magnets on to hold the paper chart, and props it up with cushions.

I have the loran board somewhere in my stash.   I think they are great to hold your chart in place; mine came with the magnetic magnifier.   Which in my opinion is a pain because you have to keep moving it to colour in what you have done on the chart.  :(  But the board is great!  :)

I use a magnetic board - not a Loran one but the same thing.  I use magnetic strips to mark where I am which means I can colour in where Ive embroidered without moving the strip.

Have you thought about making one? I bought a piece of sheet metal in a home improvements centre. Its the width of two sheets of paper side by side and as tall. I painted it, added strip magnets I found in a crafts store and put it on my table top easel and use the magnets to keep my place.
