What is being shown on the video is not a clapper. A clapper is just the board. That is a point presser. It is to press open long seams like in a collar or sleeve. They are pressed wrong side up over the thin area which is used like a thin ironing board. So the point presser is 2 tools in one. The long, thin pressing area is not just to hold the clapper
Indeed I just use a scrap of 1x4 wood from the garage workshop that I use as a clapper, does the job for regular pressing
You'll generally find this tool referred to as a Point Press Clapper. It is very handy to have the two tools in one!
happy to say that I I own all of these tools, except the clapper/point presser! They are all really useful :)
I made my sewing ham and sewing blocker!😜
That's awesome!
Very Informative! Thank you ladies!
Glad it was helpful!
Yes - multiple thread snips are super essential.
Yes they are!
I'm still trying out a few different styles of snips to see which type I like best - finding that I prefer the tweezer-looking ones the best - agreed it is ideal to have multiples handy, I actually glued a magnet to the side of my sewing machine to store my favorite thread snips right under the handwheel!
@@hey_virginiawhat a smart idea! Thanks!
For quilting rulers- they can slip while you are using them. There is grippy clear adhesive film you can apply to the back of your ruler so it won't slide, even on slippery fabrics. You may also want a handle or an edge shield. These will keep your fingers away from the rotary cutter, so you don't get cut. That hurts and blood on your fabric is not a good idea.
Great tip!
I use first aid tape for extra grippiness on my rulers ⛑️
I thought a clapper absorbs the steam, leaving behind a dried, crisp seam.
That is correct
That's right, the wood itself absorbs the steam, and traps the heat inside of your fabric, leaving a much more crisp seam. What is pictured is a clapper with a point presser. It is a combination of two tools. :-)
I run a cord (long enough to be sitting at the machine and easily snipping) through my thread snips and wear them around my neck.
That's a great idea!
Cool! What's the difference between a screw punch and one of those rotary hole punches that i have seen in the bagmaking supplies section?
They are similar in concept but they work slightly differently in terms of how the hole is made. You could probably use them interchangeably in most cases!
Hello Seam works thanks.Some tools like Tailor Ham and Long Ham are still expensive.Why not make a video on how to make one.
Here are some less expensive musts to have.
Dust and Pan £2.00(For cleaning)
Lint Roller £2.00(to remove threads that stick to our clothes when sewing)
A nice Magnifier
A powerful Table lamp
A scale with metric and Imperial units
A small Iron(Travel iron)
This would cost about £10
I got it in Lidl in UK.
Great suggestions!
There are several videos on line on how to make a tailors ham. Check them out!
Do you have a link for the screw punch please? Wawak doesn't have one. my search is bringing up odd results that don't look like what you're using.
Here's one. I haven't used this particular one but this is the first listing when I Google "screw punch": www.amazon.com/Nonaka-Works-%E6%9C%AC%E4%BD%93-Screw-punch/dp/B0041VMZYI/ref=asc_df_B0041VMZYI/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=475856001316&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15160037287332544980&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1027744&hvtargid=pla-596931789799&psc=1
neither video showed a jeanamajig- that u shaped tool that goes under your foot when sewing over a thick seam (shortening jeans) to keep it from skipping etc.
also known as a hump jumper :)
Those are handy, for sure!
