Dear Farmgirls:
Normaly I use an iron to press my quilt pieces together. But it gets clumsy and awkward at times. Is it OK to finger press them? I saw on-line a item called the wooden iron to press quilt pieces together. But it looks like just a piece of wood that I would find anywhere. What to you think? |

found my other ones the short one is a true bone folder meaning it is made out of bone. the next two are foil folders used in stain glass but can be used for fabric too.

I have done that (finger pressed) too, and it does work. Last time I was at the little quilting shop nearest here they had a neat little gadget I may get some time. It was a little battery (I think) operated iron that is real small and looks like it would sure be handy! Inexpensive too.

yep that is pretty much what it is. You can use your finger nail the back side of it and run it down the seam. If you have a bone folder you can use that. If you have a really big permanant marker use the cap, while it is still on the pin and closed. All those things work as a none heating iron.
