This tailor's ham is used for pressing and molding darts, sleeve caps and curved seamsPress as you sew for a professional finishTailor's ham has two sides for different temperaturesUse wool side for woolens, synthetic blends and fabrics requiring low to medium temperaturesUse cotton side for cotton, linen and fabrics requiring medium to high temperatures
If you want a crisp finish, a steamer isn't going to cut it. A sleeve board will help, but it's kind of a pain because...because it's meant for narrow, flat pieces of fabric, like sleeves. A tailor's ham, however, is designed for pressing curves. The rounded end is "boob-shaped" enough that you can get a good finish even in the presence of curved seams or deep darts. It's stuffed, but the fill is firm enough that you can press hard enough to get a crisp finish.
