Silver Needle, using two pieces of quarter round together came to mind immediately upon seeing the video. What kind of glue did you use? I was think of making a tube cover for it out of the shiny ironing board fabric in an attempt to divert the steam. I used that on my homemade "big board" underneath a piece of felted wool.

Years ago, our tailoring instructor taught us to roll Time Magazines together and cover with muslin to make our seam rolls.

Me neither! One good thing about this board... it exposes me to quilting things I never would hear of otherwise!

I had the whole set and the long one disappeared during the last move. I really like it for pressing strip sets. You don't have to worry about which end you sew the strips from. Since you can order from the website I'll be replacing the long Strip Stick.

I do have this and love it, but we made our own with half round from Lowes and then a piece of batting and muslin to cover it. Made several for my friends as gifts.

I saw this demonstrated at a quilt show. Seems to work great. I just didn't feel like I needed it at the time but I'm on a gadget trip lately and maybe now I need it! haha. Sorry though, I can't help you. I've never actually used one.

I have been using 1/4" quarter round moulding for this purpose for years and it works great. Looks the same as the Strip Stick, but without a cover. You can get this at Home Depot, etc. and can probably have it cut whatever size needed.

I went to the Big Orange Box (Home Depot) today when DH and I were doing errands.

I am now the owner of a 24 inch length of red oak handrail with flat bottom. :-)

It felt so sturdy and so closely resembles the sleeve roll I made decades ago, that I am sure this will work out. Ever the "resourceful" shopper, I asked about a discounted price as one end was chipped and cracked. The price went from $4.10 per linear foot to $2.00 for the item. The manager asked me if I was a crafter...... Yup!

Boy! I am so glad people started posting again on this thread. Thanks.....

I just watched the video. Seems like a useful tool, but I will try and make it myself.

I saw the video ,but instead of buying it I made my own in two sizes, easy to make

I love mine, it helps prevent distortion when pressing strip sets, and is really great for times you need to press seams open.
