Dritz562 Wool Tailor's Ham, 1 Count (Pack of 1), Brown

Definitely wouldn't serve at Christmas dinner ever again even if my last name were Tailor. Worked better for pressing seams on sewing projects than it tasted. This is a replacement for the one that went up in flames in my horizontal smoker

As a longterm sewer and craftsmaker, I have a 50 year old taylors "ham". I was nervous about ordering online without seeing and feeling the quality. Dritz is a well known name in sewing products. They have stayed true to the quality! Impressive. I do recommend and appreciate the great price point. Thanks!

Really helpful for getting ironing corner and curved seams when sewing. Good product!

As described and highly recommend for those who want their sewing and iron your clothing

I was already familiar with this particular tailor ham as a friend has one. I like the size and shape, and the materials are fine for me. I didn't experience any problem with the fabric melting or anything. I don't know what the deal is with this one, but it smelled like mildew right out of the package. I have stuffed it in a bag with some moisture absorber packs and hope that helps to pull the smell out. Since it is stuffed with sawdust, there isn't anything you can do to wash it. I didn't really see where anyone else had this problem, so maybe it is a fluke for me? I will give it some time and update if it airs out okay. As for the cancer warning on the label, it is because it is full of sawdust (and not cancerous chemical soaked sawdust, plain non chemically treated sawdust). Apparently, inhaling plain sawdust (as in if you cut wood and breathe in that air) can cause cancer. You are not breathing in this sawdust (it is fully enclosed) but it doesn't make any difference to the California cancer warning. So if you don't cut it open, throw it in the air, and inhale it all, you will be fine.Update: After leaving it in a bag with some moisture absorber packs, the smell is pretty well gone. I spritzed some febreeze on there and it smells nice now so I moved it up to four stars. Annoying, but glad it worked. I don't know why the manufacturer doesn't ship it with something to absorb odors and moisture.

It is what it is. It's a tad smaller than my ham which died recently, but it works. Seams are fine. The filling is fine. I can finish ironing my set-in sleeves now!

Super bueno es lo que eaperaba.

As I teach my students, it's vital to press as you sew. This tool helps you do that. It's a firmly stuffed roll, similar to a pressing ham, with wool flannel on one side and cotton twill on the other. Use the flannel side for pressing wool and other low-temperature fabrics; use the twill side for pressing cottons and other high-temperature fabrics.The seam roll is designed to help you press narrow areas, such as sleeves and pant legs, or even doll or baby clothes. Insert the seam roll into the narrow area to be pressed, then press the seam. The roll will support the seam, keeping it elevated, so you don't crease the edges of the garment. Note: If you have a garment that's too narrow for the seam roll, such as doll pants or the sleeve on a baby's dress, you can use the handle of a wooden spoon to serve the same purpose.This seam roll works perfectly, no problems whatsoever. I'll give it five stars and highly recommend it to anyone who sews.
