Wow! That is an ingenious way to combat a problem that all of us have with paper piecing. I am so glad you decided to post it PenniF. And please post any other original ideas too! ;-)

I would guess the hammer you would need is called a dead blow hammer it is used by woodworkers to tak apart furniture without damaging the wood. It is made up of rubber or plastic and filled with beebees

I have a rubber mallet (from hardware store) that I covered in saran wrap that I use to flatten seams.

Me too! Great solution for someone who has not made hers for the same reason...
