A great tool for pressing seams and ironing corners

This Point Press is a valuable piece of equipment that every sewer needs, and 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. Slip the seam wrong side up over the point and press open. The bottom 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 and then press with the clapper, leaning on it and applying as much pressure as possible. Hold this position until both the fabric and wood (which presses the steam into the area without adding heat) have cooled.
