my aim is so lousy a hammer wouldn't do me any good. everything would be flat except the points and intersections. :lol:

I have some in my bits and bobs - never thought to use it quilting - I used them when i sewed winter coats and jackets. Out they come! I have them on display as mine are probably antiques - they were my grandmothers. All sizes and shapes. Lucky I didn't glue them to the frames!

Well as I have been saying learn something new everyday here!

I have never seen the hammer, but it sounds like a good idea. Not quite sure I would spend $10 on it though

Oh My Goodness! I can't IMAGINE what my husband would say if he walked in and saw me with a big hammer pounding on a quilt! LOL He might ask me how much wine or tequila I've been drinking. ROFL! :D

I own a nifty little wooden mallet from yesteryear from my leathercrafting phase that would work nicely, but I have no idea where it is. I have a couple of little rollers from past (& future?) wallpapering days, so I'm all set if I decide to roll or pound bulky seams.

I, like some of you thought this was funny but now I actually think this is a pretty good idea. I do learn alot from this board!

Wouldn't pounding on the seams like that wreck the threads and maybe weaken the seam? I think it is really stupid and rather find other ways to deal with it. It would be better to starch the seam and put a 10 pound weight on it instead until it is dry.

You don't pound it like you're putting a nail in a 2x4. More like your putting a tack in a firring strip.

I guess there's always something new out there - the hamnmer is a new one for me. Thanks for letting us know what we're missing.
