The Mardili Hard Wood Tailors Clapper for Steam Iron is the ideal and must have pressing tool for every sewing room.  As seen on many reviews, many consumers uses this tool for everything from pressing up hems, creasing pants, pressing seam allowances open, even pressing knit fabrics.  All you require is a little steam and press the area with the clapper for perfect pressing.

Great tool for Tailors

Made from a hardwood, the Tailor’s Clapper has no finish so it’s able to absorb moisture from your iron for crisp seams, pleats, and creases and the wood is heavy and close-grained.

Appropriate size and design

The size (9.5 inches) is ideal for daily use and the tailor’s clapper is rounded on both ends and designed with side grooves for comfortable and convenient gripping.

Easy to use

To utilize it, you first press your seam with a hot iron and lots of steam.

Immediately after lifting the iron, you place the capper over the seam and hold it down until the material cools.

Absorbs steam

The wood itself absorbs the steam, and traps the heat inside of your garments, instead of setting it free into the air of your sewing room.

This is certainly the magic of the tailor’s clapper. Your fabric requires the right combination of hot to cool, steamy to dry in order to make a perfectly flat seam.

Use for any project

You can utilize the Mardili Hard Wood Tailors Clapper for Steam Iron on not only quilt seams, but tucks, collars, cuffs and hems.

You can even utilize it for pant pleats, if you’re into that look (the TC won’t judge.)

It works wonders on TINY seams and you know those seams that are so teeny-weeny they’re hard to nail down? That’s definitely a job for the tailor’s clapper.

How to use

To make use of the clapper to its fullest potential, with either a spray bottle or the steam in your iron, give your seam a nice, steamy press.

Lift up your iron and press the tailor’s clapper on the seam until the area is extremely cool (about 5-7 seconds is enough).

If you lift it up too soon, you’ll rob the seam of the complete magic of the tailor’s clapper (mostly because you’re shortchanging that heat treatment).

Conclusion

No matter how much time you spend cutting and assembling a garment, the finished product succeeds or fails based on how effectively you press it.

You can sew the most gorgeous French seams ever, but if you aren’t properly pressing at each stage in the game, your project will inevitably look homemade and not very flattering.

Pressing is sewing, and selecting the Mardili Hard Wood Tailors Clapper for Steam Iron will make this stage much less of a chore.
