Oh I forgot to mention my book holder/stand! Well it is an acrylic bookstand the has a metal flat piece that sits in it to support pages or a book. There is a seperate magnetic ruler strip that holds single pages in place. That is why they made it metal.
It is the best while following directions hands free for cutting and sewing a big plus is it makes it easy to read! Oh and you can move the magnetic ruler to keep your place.
I think I bought it some years ago and it was called a craft stand.
