My guild retreat is paid for by the guild and the members are asked to bring gift to put in everyone's goody bag. One guild member's DH made a bunch of these from wood molding. The guild member made muslin sleeves slip the stick into. She gave everyone at our retreat a long one and a short one. I keep forgetting to use it and they are right by my ironing table. I do use a clapper on every seam so I can see where this would be a great time saver for long strip seams. I'll make a separate post as the contents of the goody bag are pretty nifty!
