Why couldn't you just put a rubber tip on the head of any hammer you have. You know, like the ones on the legs of your ironing board to keep from scratching the floor?

My Mother always used a tailor's press when tailoring clothing. A good whack or two would flatten any seam or bulk. So, I thought it would work for quilting too. I tried it, it works! I use the edge of my scissor handle. I didn't buy a special tool.Susan(from Alaska)

When using your hammer, place a heavy wooden cutting board on your table or counter. This saves your table from misses and prevents dints in your counter. It also keeps your hubby happy. He doesn't have to fix anything. bea

I use a rubber mallet from my DH. Not sure he knows he "gave" it to me, though!

Yes, I love my wacker. I even have to hide it from my son. He thinks that he can use it on anything. I told him it's only for fabric, like my scissors.

Elenor Burns (spelling?) teaches her seams that way.

Yes, I did think you were crazy, or kidding! Steam and whack, steam and whack -- I can do this!
