I think I would like such a gadget.

The last time I made something that needed lots of seams pressed open, I sat in front of the TV and finger pressed all the seams open. They were put into a stack as they were finished. When the stack threatened to fall over, I started a new stack.

When they were all pressed, I headed to the iron. It was quick work to press them now with no burnt fingers. You have the iron on for a much shorter time this way.

Dunster….yes that was the one I saw, thank you for finding it for me! I went ahead and ordered two of them just to have an extra one around. The other one from the quilting store looked interesting, but was almost double the cost. Yippee!! Looking forward to the mail now!!

I use an Orange Stick that I bought at the beauty supply store.

Why wouldn't a chop stick work, too?

The flat end works much better to open a seam then the stiletto end. Any flat end will work, it's the convenience of the finger tool that is so nice. If you have the Appliquick tool it works great too.

If you have a guitar picker in the family couldn't snag on of these? The metal ones could be bent to the correct angle. I may have to pay a visit to my son and plunder his music room...lol

I use one of these:

My grandmother used an old shoe horn made of bone. I have it and use it. It works better then the roller to finger press seams. It's great for smoothing seams when an item is turned inside out and makes a great hera marker.

Please let us know when you get them and how they work for you. I like purple, but that one looks awkward to me. It would put the fingertip further from the heat source or needle.
