Savina Tailors Clapper for Quilting, Hard Wood Professional Multipurpose Durable for Seam Ironing, Flattening Tool. Great for Setting Fabric Folds, Accenting, Clothing Wrinkle Sewing.

I struggled with getting truly flattened seams in my quilt blocks. Steam, no steam, pounce the iron, hold firm, try not to strech the fabric, all those tips and tricks were good advice, but not as much as using an old school pressing tool like a taylors clapper. Who'd of thought. . . Applying the heat from the iron, adding a little steam, and tamping/clapping the seam truly flattens without streach or puckers. Especially when working curves, this tool produces perfection. This clapper is quality, a beautiful piece of wood, heavy, and polished smooth. So simple, it disburses the heat through the fibers, while the weight presses them flat, then draws the heat away, drying and cooling the seams open and completely flattened. This tool has greatly improved my block piecing. Highly recommend.

I was concerned that the dark color and sheen of this item meant it had a varnish or some kind of finish-- happily, it does not. It absorbs the steam and warmth after pressing with an iron, just as it is supposed to. It gives a nice flat, crisply ironed seam or hem. I've never used a clapper before, and I hate ironing... but this really makes it look nice afterwards. This clapper is sanded extremely smooth and feels "silky" (for lack of a better word). I'm glad I chose this one-- I wanted something nice looking and not too expensive, and I intentionally chose one that was not made in China, just for some variety. I like it a lot-- it makes me dislike ironing a lot less!

Who knew something so simple worked so well. I iron my seams open and lay this on them while I move on. Helps set the seam. I’ve used this block to help weigh down the collar of my husbands work shirts. Makes pleating easier. Just put it down over the just pressed area. So easy to use. A great ironing or seamstress/crafting companion. And so worth the money. Never had smoother seams with less effort. And, hey, who doesn’t want to make their life easier. Especially when it comes to ironing!!! There’s something to be said for the way things “used to be done”. Enjoy! I love mine. Now check out the stiletto and the rolling wheel!

Nicely made. Quality product.

I wasn’t sure after reading about this. Then I saw a couple of YouTube quilters use this and sing its praises. I am new to quilting, and I will say, the difference after I started using this in my seams after pressing is fantastic! The seams are flatter and don’t “flip” up as easily as before.

I’d been reading on quilting sites about using a clapper on seams. So I tried this one. I really LOVE how it works and wish that it came in a set. There are some cracks/splitting on the ends and I don’t know if these are of concern. I’m wanting to buy a longer one but will now pay more by buying separately.

great after pressing small half square triangles to encourage them to lay flat

This product has taken my sewing seams to the next level. I always iron them but running this product over the already ironed seams really crisps them up. I also found it useful for smoothing tee shirt wrinkles after coming out of the dryer. Easy to use and excellent value.

Got it finally in the mail. Didn’t know it was there. Used it on my quilting squares to flatten seams. Yup it does work. Very crisp seams. Love it

Artikel ist genauso wie beschrieben. Sehr stabil sehr glatt und ich kann's nur empfehlen.

Got this for my sister as a present and she loves it

Really smooth clapper for pressing.So well made,nice weight.

Ich habe es für meine Frau gekauft, die damit näht, und sie ist begeistert. Der Klöppel fühlt sich geschmeidig und seidig an und liegt super in der Hand. Die Nähte sehen fantastisch aus. Alles funktioniert, wie es soll.
