"Finger" Pressing

"Finger" Pressing
I discovered this free gadget at the grocery store. It's the portion of plastic that gets punched out from the handle when plastic milk jugs are formed. Sometimes they're still attached. I use one to press seams, and it works great! If necessary, you can use a emery board to smooth rough edges on the plastic.

Use one side of wooden clothespin. Works great at retreats when you have limited workspace.

Pampered Chef Brown Scrapper (for scrapping pans) work well also. It's a nice size for handling.
