Hardwood Clapper 12"

This Riley Blake Notions 12in Tailors Clapper is made of hardwood and is a classic tool used with a steam iron to set a seam. Made in the USA.

The tailor’s clapper is used to get flat, crisp seams and creases while sewing.

The wood itself absorbs the steam, and traps the heat inside of your fabric, instead of setting it free into the air of your sewing room. This is the magic of the tailor’s clapper. Your fabric needs the right combination of hot to cool, steamy to dry in order to make a perfectly flat seam. The Taylor's Clapper makes it happen.

To use 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 fully cool
