    Try small coins, ball bearings, or metal washers dropped into the toe of the sock to help weight it down.

    You can do the same with the heel part too, if you do it by short rowing on one bed you can drop weights into it as soon as it starts to form a pouch.

    If you hook on weights at the edges too then the stitches should have no chance to misbehave.

    The small weights inside the toe passed though my mind, however, I was having problems before there was enough of a pocket. I do like the idea of the weight in the pocket of the heel. The heel is on the main bed and I find it hard to get up, under, and behind the heel to attach weights. It should be eiser to go at it from the front.

    Thanks
