Have any of you seen the wooden mallets that they are selling to hit your joining points with. I saw them a a quilt show. No I didn't get sucked in. They were $10 and I thought DH might have a better idea. It seemed to work for the people demonstrating it, but I still was in doubt. DH said to go to Lowe's and buy a white rubber mallet and it would work for this purpose. I looked at Lowe's and they were out of them, but only $4.97.

I thought it was so funny! I went in and got my "meat pounder" out of the kitchen. I didn't think it made a heck of a lotta difference!

I have seen them...dear hubby bought me a rubber mallet for 3.00..works the same. It does work, turn over your quilt and pound the intersecting seams. They will lay flater. I do it all the time.
Peace and Blessings

I like Eleanor Burns' method: put your index finger on the spot, push down and do a twistsy-turn motion with your finger. She say's to push it into submission. :D

That sounds like her. Isn't she just the best.
