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.
Anyhoo, this is filled with sawdust, as it's supposed to be, and it works perfectly.
