Hi everyone! In this video, I’m diving into one of my absolute favorite pressing tools—the wooden clapper! If you've ever wondered what a clapper does, why quilters use it, or how to get your seams flatter than flat, you’re in the right place. I’ll walk you through everything: how to use a clapper properly, what to look for when buying one, and how it compares to other pressing methods (including steam, pressing solution, and more). You’ll see real-time comparisons with half-square triangles and even a bonus tip using a pressing marker that made all the difference.
