The Tailors Clapper is a must for sewing and ironing. It is used to press seams without burning. Used with steam from your iron, press the area with the clapper and hold for just a few seconds, it will leave a nice crisp seam. The larger clapper measures 8 1/2 inches long, 2 1/2 wide tapered down to 2 inches and is 1 1/2” thick and weights approximately 9oz. Smaller clapper weighs 6 oz, and measure 8" long 2" wide tapered down to 1 1/2" and is 1 1/2" thick. Both sides have routed grooves to offer easy handling. Colors may vary from the above picture, they may be lighter or darker depending on the variations of color in the wood used. Point Press is a valuable piece of equipment that every sewer needs. This is actually two tools in one. The top, narrow-surfaced, point presser side works like a tiny ironing board for pressing hard-to-reach seams and enclosed corners, like those on collars, lapels, and cuffs. A point press is used for pressing hard-to-reach seams. Slip the seam, wrong side up, over the point and press open. The bottom, large clapper side is used to apply pressure to set permanent creases to form crisp edges, and flatten bulky seams. To use, first apply steam to the area with your iron, then press with the clapper. Hold this position until both the fabric and wood (which presses the steam into the area without adding heat) have cooled. Colors may vary from the above picture, they may be lighter or darker depending on the variations of color in the wood used.
