Finger Pressing
#21
I use half of a wooden clip clothespin to finger press. It has a slanted end and is just the right size. They usually slide apart easily at the metal spring.
The funny part is that my husband sees it laying by my machine and puts it back together thinking it is broken and he'll fix it. This has happened numerous times and I just take it apart again and not say a word. It has now become one of those little unspoken tender spots of love.

I use my grandmother's darning egg (they put them in the toes and heels of socks to sew up holes) and it is so smooth and I use it to "finger press" my small pieces. Oh, yes, I am over 50 so you can tell that little darning egg is very old and very treasured.

I use that little wooden thing and it works great. Years ago when I was in Paducah at Eleanor Burns tent sale, they gave us one free. Works like a charm and they sell these at most any quilt store.
