Red Oak Tailors Clapper
NOTE: Orders placed between June 19th and July 9th will not be prepared and shipped until July 10th. We know many stitchers need their fabric as soon as possible for special projects! Please take this into consideration before completing your purchase. We thank you for your patience. We are a small business and we want to ensure that our staff is able to spend time with their families in the summer.
Description
For garments that look handmade, not homemade, we press as we sew! Make your pressing easier with the right tools.
A tailor's clapper is used to get crisp, flat seams and creases while sewing. A wooden clapper absorbs the steam and traps the heat against your fabric.
First, press your seam to meld your stitches to the fabric. Next, press your seam allowances as directed (open or to one side) using lots of steam. Then, place the clapper on top of the seam and leave it there until cooled (5-7 seconds).
I use the large clapper for everyday sewing in my studio, and I like the small one for when I travel.
Sizes: Large (11.5" X 2.5" X 1.5") Small (7.75" X 1.75" X 1.75")
