strip stick
I have used one that I had my hubbie cut for me, maybe 18-20 years ago, when I was wardrobe sewing. It was just a 1/2 round from the lumber yard, used without a covering. It produced nice straight, flat seams. Forgot all about it for quilting, duh.

Strip sticks are awesome!
I love mine, especially for ironing seams open for strip sets. If you can find the half-round molding, it would be easy to make your own. I don't think there is any batting inside; just the half-round wood covered with a muslin sleeve.

I just used my long strip stick yesterday to press seams open on rows of a completed quilt top. The seams can be pressed open last and not distort the rows.

I watched someone use it at a retreat. I was all excited about having DH make this then forgot. Thanks for the reminder. (by the way, I love my tailor’s clapper especially for small blocks with numerous seams)
