I think it's what we call bias bars--used to make an applique stem. Often also used in celtic designs. You sew the bias strip wrong sides together, insert the bias bar so the seam allowance is on one side (not the edge) and press. When yo attach to the quilt the seam allowance is under the bias "stem" and invisible. Does this sound like what you are doing? They usually come in sets of various sizes, metal or a melt proof plastic
