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

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 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.....
