What is this strange "tool" you ask? It's a Dritz Point Turner and Seam Creaser. I don't use it for either of those things. I use it to crease, just not seams. It's my cheat tool for quilting. I saw a Hera Marker on someone else's blog spot and loved it and it's use. You use it against a ruler, as you would a pen or pencil and mark your quiliting lines. How cool!! I didn't know there was such a thing. Then again, I'm just 4 years into my "sewing career".So, we set out for the city today for a Dr's appt for my husband and when we go there, I take advantage of the trip and always go to JoAnns. I was in a dead search for a Hera Marker. No one in the store knew what it was or what it was for. It was literally like I was speaking a foreign language. They didn't have the actual Hera Marker, however I knew they had it online and would order it as soon as I got home. I did find the pictured Creaser. It was much cheaper than the marker and I just had to see if something like this really does work. I've been using a white crayon and it's leaving to much residue behind on the fabric.
The creaser does work, I've tested it, tried it and all is well. However, I had also ordered the Hera Marker and I'm awaiting it's arrival.
I'd like to hear more about this after you've used it for a while. I'm new to any kind of sewing but thought this tool might be helpful with quilting.
