Abstract
A place keeper, for use with a straight edge for designating a row on a cross-stitch pattern, is slidable along the straight edge so the straight edge designates a row, and the place keeper designates a column. Two or more place keepers can be used to designate a group of columns, with one place keeper on each side of the columns to be designated. The straight edge is preferably a line magnifier having magnets at each end to hold the magnifier to a magnet board. The magnets may space the magnifier from the magnet board to allow the place keepers to slide without interference from the surface on which the magnifier is resting.

In a line magnifier having a flat bottom surface and a cylindrically shaped upper surface for magnifying a row of printed material, said magnifier including a line along the bottom surface thereof, the combination therewith of at least one place keeper slidably received on said magnifier and comprising a base plate in flat face contacting relation with said bottom surface of said magnifier, and said base plate including a line disposed perpendicularly to said line along the bottom surface of said magnifier and in a plane adjacent to said bottom surface.
In a line magnifier having a flat bottom surface and a cylindrically shaped upper surface for magnifying a row of printed material, said magnifier including a line along the bottom surface thereof, the combination therewith of at least one place keeper slidably received on said magnifier, said place keeper including a line disposed perpendicularly to said line along the bottom surface of said magnifier and in a plane adjacent to said bottom surface, said magnifier including magnets at each end thereof for holding said magnifier to a surface having said printed material thereon, said magnets extending below said bottom surface of said magnifier to cause a space between said printed material and said bottom surface, and said base plate of said place keeper being disposed within said space between said printed material and said bottom surface.
