Mardili Hard Wood Tailors Clapper for Steam Iron to Set a steam

This clapper really works to flatten my quilt block seams and my blocks are noticeably more accurate. This is a good value and well made. One note, after trying this version, I ordered a two pack from another Amazon seller for a slightly better price and they were also slightly wider, which I like. Both are good quality, well sanded and fit well in the hand. Both get the job done. I reviewed the other clappers as well if you are interested and might prefer two slightly wider tools. You won’t go wrong with either choice.

Very useful sewing tool to keep pressed seams flat! It's wonderful!

Have been using for quilting. Works well. Price was good

Perfect. Dense hard wood that holds a crisp seam.

This is a great Tailors Clapper. Fits well in my hand as well as my daughters hand which is much smaller than mine. It is very smooth & light weight but heavy enough to hold the ironed fabric in place to get a crisp finish.

I haven’t been able to use it yet. I wish it was heavier.

...then this tool is for you. I didn't even know what a tailor's clapper was until I went on YouTube to learn how to press a pair of trousers like a pro. First steam the seam, then place the clapper on top to draw the moisture from the fabric. What's left is a crisp seam, but without subjecting the fabric to the damaging heat of an iron. This wooden block is simple and it works.

This not only looks great but it feels wonderful in your hands. We never knew we needed a clapper until we read about them and now we can’t do without one. It makes for nice, crisp seams.
