I'm confused, dose the trim have a flat side and is that the sides you glued together? Does the glued finished piece give you a half circle shape?

I like your new gadget. Very innovative of you. Thanks for posting.

Is this molding flat on one side? When you talk about gluing two pieces together what do you mean?

Thanks

yes, 1/4 round means that two sides are flat. YOu want to glue the sides together that will give you a nice DOME top!

I just bought the narrower trim to try and make a skinnier one! Will get pix tonight I hope!

Oh, man, gadgets!!!!! I'm a sucker for them!! Went to site and I like that Seams thingy, too. Both of these would help me sew the pageant sashes that I make. They are soooo long and since the back wraps around to the front, the seams are very important or the sash won't look right!

2 pieces of 1/4 round glued together will give you a domed 1/2 round. Look at the pictures on the link, that should help you understand the concept.

Very clever. Might be handy for pressing seams for some types of Quilt as You Go.

In the picture , the tool looks like it has a flat bottom, but with Jaciqltznok's directions it looks like you have a round dowl with a 1/2 diameter. If that 's not right , I don' t get it. I am sorry for being so dense.

I should let Jaciq answer but what you get when you glue the two flat sides together is a peice just exactly like the original presser. It will be flat on the bottom and have a 1/2" dome on the top. (you really are clever, girl!)

My DH is making me one also. He bought 48 inches of quarter round molding. I had not thought to use insulbrite, I was going to cover it with canvas or heavy duck.
