This week its something nice and simple, a seam roller.
I find this little tool to be a huge advantage when paper piecing. Every time I do the flippy thing I can press the seam down with this. I don't bother with the iron until the block is finished. That saves me loads of time as I don't have a perfect, ergonomically designed sewing room (i.e. I have to get up to the iron and ironing board). Especially if I am doing something really fiddly with lots of little pieces this works a treat.

You have now just increased sales on these doohickeys! I'll be looking for one as well. Beats using my finger all the time!
Great FTF, looks like a very handy tool :-)
great idea! looks very handy .. pressing is such a pain.
I've seen them and been on the look out for one, now I'll just have to try harder to find one.
It does seem like a handy thing for paper piecing. I think I have one among my wallpapering supplies. Great tip, thanks!
How cool is that? I've never seen such a thing. It would be quite handy!
