Yes, The Tailor's Ham is for garment construction to press curves and shapes. But I Made this Quilter's Tailor ham as mentioned by AliKat above. I got the Half Dowel Rod at the Lumber Store. I chose a 2 inch diameter rod and covered it with batting and heat resistant fabric that I use for hot pads. I made mine 60 inches long. I put my seams on it and iron on top of the curve to get a really flat seam like when you add a boarder to a quilt. Works great. See picture below:
