Pressing Seams
#1
I am working on a quilt with seams that just won't stay flat. I remember seeing a comment from someone about a block of wood used after pressing with an iron that you would place over the heated seam and it would lay flat. She also included instructions to make your own. Please help me! Is there a name for this block?

You'd be amazed how flat seams are when you use a clapper. Many in my guild laughed when I was the only one to buy one from a visiting vendor. They thought I wasted my money. Now I'm the one smiling over my flat seams.

I keep a small dish of water on my ironing board, I dip my fingertip in and put a drop on the stubborn seam or intersection and then press. Another member gave this tip and it works very well :D:D:D
