The Tailors Clapper is a must have for sewing and ironing. It is used to press seams without burning. I discovered the clapper while I was taking a sewing class on making jeans and wondered how I ever sewed without it. Now, I use it on everything I make. Using with steam from your iron, press the area with the clapper and hold for just a few seconds. It will leave a nice crisp seam. We offer this handmade clapper in Oak. It weights about 12 oz and measures 9 ½” inches long, 2 1/2 inches wide tapered down to 2 inches and is 1 1/2” thick. Both sides have routed grooves to offer easy handling and is unfinished to better absorb steam. Colors may vary from the above picture. They may be lighter or darker depending on the variations of color in the wood used. Weight may also vary based off density of the wood used.
