Has anyone used the Strip Stick? If so, do you like it? (It is supposed to help in pressing seams open or to one side.)

I have no idea what this is

Welcome from MI.
Are you talking about the wood thingy that you use to press seams similar to this one? http://www.nancysnotions.com/product...ight+handed.do Then, Yes, I have one, use it and like it alot. I use it to press shorter seams, then press with an iron when I'm done piecing the whole block. Just straight seams, though. I seem to stretch diagonals too much. |

Nope, it isn't like that. Believe it or not, I'm originally from MI! Davison to be exact, and I can't get back often enough.

Thanks for the input.

I just bought one at a local quilt show. I saw it a couple of months ago at another and waited and thought about it. I bought it 2 weeks ago and yeah it does help. I am in a wheelchair and have a hard time getting my material arranged on the board and not messing up what I just pressed. With the stick it isolates the seam and allows me to work on just the area I want. If you are pressing a seam open it is great too.
I bought a package deal with 2 sticks (18" & 45") and a Seams Sew Fast Guide for $29.95 http://thestripstick.com/ |
i have a wooden roller one. like the wallpaper seam pressers that are plastic with a handle, but mine is rounded/convex.
either one would work fine though. |
