The Tailors Clapper is a must for sewing and ironing. It is used to press seams without burning. Used 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 beech wood. Measures 9 1/2 in long, 2 1/2 in width tapered down to 2 in and is 1 1/2 in thick. Both sides have routed grooves to offer easy handling and is unfinished to absorb the steam better.
