lo and behold! The quilting industry has come up with a rubber mallet for the deed.
You might try the local hardware store for a construction rubber mallet, since it will probably be cheaper. Won't be as purty <g> but hey! What you really want is the mallet, right??? LOL
STEAM while pressing?! :shock: I thought we were supposed to stay plum away from that nasty stuff, lol. :lol: Yeah, I'm half steam, half not anymore.
Guess I've never cared much for pressing seams open. Doesn't that weaken the seam? Or, have I been misled all this time?
I saw that silly little hammer, and for big bucks, too! Maybe it's time to get out my own hammer. Thanks for the tip; I'd forgotten all about that! :? Thanks so much, Omak for all your help.
