I love love love your hammer solution. Will try it with my next (4th) Joseph's Coat block (the 1st three are a nightmare). Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I learned at a tailoring shop I worked at years ago to use a hammer for jean hems by the seams, works great. Thank you Angela for all your videos and instruction. I have learned so much from you.
Merry Christmas, Angela (and all my fellow quilters)! Wooden mallets are pretty awesome for smashing bulky seams! You can use it as a tailor's clapper - hit that seam with a shot of steam, then wack it into submission. Plus, hanging it on your wall let's everyone know you mean business.
Thank you for another great video Angela, I use a Tailor's clapper and is works Brilliantly! Flat seams that stay that way. 😊
Love your videos,so informative and funny.
My fabric stash just increased more this morning, along with "another" new sewing machine
This is the first of your videos I've seen. You are very personable!
I am putting a hammer on my shopping list! Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks.
Oh wow, did I ever need this. Just in time too. Thanks, Angela!
Angela, I just love all the tips and advice you give us in your shows. What kind of sewing machine do you use and what is your long arm. I’ll just add them to my dream list?
Thanks Angela !! Very helpful!
I love your tips and humor. Thank you for the video! 😊
Oh and I love your videos! Well done!
I guess I will have to add this tool to my Sewing Instruments... Thanks Angela!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Angela! Thank you for all your humor, encouragement, and inspiration 😊
PERFECT timing.. posting a pic on FB... THANK YOU Angela!!! I used your HAMMER trick!!
Finally a use for the hammer hubby brought me for a birthday years ago.
Merry Christmas and happy new year 🎆 Angela.
Great ideas! I hope we get to see that block in a future quilt! I just got a ton of rainbow solids for Christmas that I don’t know what to do with...
Yessssss!!! It’s in the new video! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks Angela. Good tips
Thank you, amazing tip using the hammer :)
Perfect - just what I wanted to know. Thanks so much, and thanks everyone else for mentioning clappers; I didn't know their use, although I'd heard of them.
Great tips!Thanks for sharing 👍
I once used my dad's old fraternity paddle to smack the seams down while working with wool. It broke the fibers sufficiently at the seams and they lay perfectly flat when I followed up with a hot steam iron. It worked like a charm.
love your Videos Happy New Year
You're great Angela! I'm going to use my sculpting hammer for this use now!!
I have used a hammer many times. Love all your videos.
Angela, that is great advice. I would really love to see you make a video on how YOU sandwich your quilts from start to finish. I noticed you don't use pins. So how do you do it? thanks, Donna
Have used hammer for jeans in the past. Never thought about quilts. Thanks!
I take stitches out too, but I also use a wool pressing mat with steam and let the iron rest on that point where all the seams come together. It really makes a difference.
What is a wool pressing mat?

I got a wool pressing mat too. They are nice! The wool holds the heat so it feels like your pressing both sides at the same time.
sister you crack me up!!!!!
@Midnight Quilt Show What type of machine do you use and what do you recommend?? I've been sewing on an old singer but am now ready to buy a new one with some bells and whistles. My budget is btwn $2000-3000.
Thank you!❤️
Edyta Sitar does a beginner eight point star tutorial that shows how to "Fan" her seams that I think would work better than a hammer
Please please please do a video on how you spray baste a quilt 🥰 My life depends on it
It also helps to use quilters starch after you pull out some stitches and then press
You’re so cute. Bulky seams are the bane of my life, thank you.
I never thought of using a hammer but I will have to buy one to add to my supplies and give it a try.
AWESOME. I had that problem on my last quilt! Hmmmm
I learned the pressing habit the hard way, it snaps your tread, and luckily not always the needle
😂 I love the hammer method!
Thanks
What is this sewing machine please, it looks huge, thank you
Oh goodness lol just trying to picture the Mister's face when I ask for a hammer!
what small iron are you using?
I had a good chuckle on this one.
What is the name of this pattern please?
I use a rubber mallet, not a hammer, but I get the same flat result. I got a clean new one, so I did not have to rummage in my husband’s tools.
Great idea. I have one I used to use with tent pegs and never got rid of. I was debating if it was clutter or not....
I give it a shot of steam before I hammer. I bought a hammer just for sewing 😁
Hammers should be in every sewers box-o-tools!
A clapper works too!
You should see the look my husband gives me when I tell him I need to go to Home Depot for sewing supplies! Lol
@@little1942 Hahaha!!! I love that! "Honey, I'm starting a new quilt... let's go to Home Depot!"
SmittenKitten He got me back good a few Christmases ago. He bought a huge fishing tackle box and put a note on it that said: "SEWING BOX".
I love that thing! Only my husband would have thought to do that! Lol
😂😂 i am gonna try the hammer thing 😂😂
Steam & a tailors block
love it! smash it with a hammer, why should men get all the fun all the time! you make me love sewing even more then I already do!
ya
I have used a hammer !
