Seam stick
 

I watched a seam stick being used recently & decided I’d add one to my “tool box”. Anyone make their own or purchased it ?

BTW, anytime I put a keyword in the search box at the top of the page, I get everyone’s response concerning the said keyword, but all responses are blank. This has been going on for a while now.

I've never heard of seam stick, what is its use?

its a pressing aid. Google it and get a better explanation.

I have a white plastic one. has a slant on one end. i usually just use my roller on seams. wooden one, but like those wall paper rollers.

I have the same issue, but I hit "refresh" and I can see the responses. Have not seen a seam stick!

I have one and use it when I'm opening seams. You are talking about the half round wood sticks covered by canvas to use to press open seams? It works fine.

I have a long and short one found them New in package at local resale i think you could just get a big dowel and for cut it in half lengthwise.

It is called a 'strip stick' .. I made my own. Purchased some 1" wide diameter half dowel ,cut to desired length, glued some cotton batting around it, trimming so there was no overlap.. and made a plain colored fabric sleeve to slide over.
works a treat when pressing jelly roll seams etc , so you do not inadvertently press other seams again or in wrong direction

It looks like and is shaped like half round moulding used in wood working or for baseboards. Check the local hardware stores or big box stores like Lowes or Home Depot and you can probably get 6 to 10 feet or more of it for a few dollars. They will also cut it down for you, free of charge. I think it also comes in different round sizes. For comparison, Nancys Notions is selling 16 inches for 13.99.

I agree. I sent for one and when I got it I thought I could have meade one myself. I do use it but found it a little pricy.

A friend made me one for Christmas one year. Works great. Like others, it's simply a half dowel covered in cotton batting with a muslin sleeve slip stitched to the back and closed. Mine is about 18 inches long and fits beside my ironing pad.

My husband made mine. He took a large dowel and cut it in half, I then made a flannel sleeve and covered it. Use it when pressing seams open. Works great.

oh this is for pressing? i have a tailor's roll for pressing lots of seams. i thought it was a tool like finger pressing and i have some of those. (tools that is)

Here's a link with instructions for making your own.

I use a snap clothes pin, taken apart, and then you have 2 to use.

I have the same issue with blank I don’t see a little circle thing on my iPad.

I've had that happen too, and found that if I just refresh the page the text in the responses shows up. This is on my new iPad Pro that it’s happening on.

Re: blank responses.

I've had that, too, but when I try again the images finally load. I thought it was just my browser speed, but maybe it's the loading speed of the website.

Re: blank responses.

It must be the website, I have the same issue on my desk top.

Lucky You !

not finding it either. (iPad Pro)
