LOL! She is something else and although she likes to show how to use some of the new gadgets I don't get the idea that we she wants us to belive "can't live without this new (fill in the blank)"

yep, i bought a wooden roller to press my seams right by my machine. almost same thing as a cheap wall paper seam roller.but mine cost more. i love it anyway.

Those pesky seams can be a problem when doing quilting. The mallet is a good idea but not at $10.00.

For those that sew clothes a mallet is a common thing to use. Very effective on wool and denim and other thick and stubborn fabrics.

I have done a lot of stars and other things with points, I haven't ever needed a hammer for the seams. Seriously, I have never heard of this. Where, how, why would you use a hammer? or other poinding device?

I thought when I read this that it was for hitting their body joints. hehehehe boy is my face red. now I like having my dd or my hubby hit my back hard with their hands or fists but I thought a mallet. wow that could do real damage. then I realized that it was for the seams on their quilts. hehe. I will have to try that some time. much like eleanor burns, says but you are beating it into submission hehe,

Just another useless tool someone came up with to get our hard earned money, like Fons and Porter. Most of their stuff is over priced and useless. Quilters have made do with so much less than we have today. Ask your self the next time you see one of these gadgets, do I really need this? And is this something I will use? Do I already have something that will work as well or better???

Now I've got a use for the pretty floral painted little hammer that I bought at a tool outlet store in Branson years ago! I paid $3 for it but it's so pretty I'm afraid to hit anything very hard with it. Pounding on fabric seams should be fairly safe for the paint--probably not safe for my fingers, though!

Yup, those of us who sew jeans use a mallet to bang the heck out seams...stress relief! LOL...

Gosh, am ALWAYS learning something new on this Board! Who would have thought?...
