You know I hadn't used my clapper in years and the other day had some seams that didn't want to play nice. I used the clapper and now will be using it all the time :-) . Sometimes use a small tack hammer on a reluctant seam joining, too. I learned that trick when sewing denim jeans for my kids years ago.
