Do I already have something that will work as well or better???

When I first read this I thought "okay.......... But, when I think about it.. though I have never done this it does sound interesting in reference to paperpiecing stars and all their intersecting points I run into. I too have a wooden leathercraft hammer, and think I will also go raid my husbands shop and check out his rubber mallet and try them both. I do not use steam for paperpiecing it quite often will make the ink run so the hammer might help when there are many intersecting points.
Thanks for posting.

I took my first quilt class from the inventor of this, however; she used a regular hammer at that time. What was not mentioned is you must use steam to flatten those pesty intersections and pound into submission! P.S. No, I don't use the idea, actually I forgot all about it!
