Hello, I just saw you on Quilt Teacher Studio Tours. Thanks for sharing so much information. I can’t wait to review your blog in detail. I saw on the show that you used your own block of wood to use to flatten seems after pressing. My question is, what kind of wood works best, hard or soft, such as oak or pine. Thanks You!
Hi Carol, Thanks for your question. We used red oak that my husband had in his wood shop. He then eased the edges and kept the wood natural, with the idea being that you don’t want anything like a sealer or stain transferring to your fabric or interfering with the heat transfer process. The wood pieces are pretty heavy and hard. I’d probably use a heftier piece of wood (rather than a lightweight pine). Part of what helps flatten the seam (other than the transfer of heat) is the weight of the wood. I hope you’ll give it a try!
