PrymTailor's Ham for Ironing-Out Curved Seams, Polyester blend, Multi-Colour, 20 x 14 x 10 cm

I purchased this along with the Prym roll...something I have been debating for a long time until I finally took the plunge and bought them.I looked at all the tailors hams not only on Amazon but also researched elsewhere and as I have had Prym brand for other items previously and not always happy with them, I was a little unsure what to do. I can honestly say that I am so glad I made the decision to go for these!The ham and the roll and both very firm and robust and great to use...I didn't think I would use them much but having used them just once so far, I will certainly be using them regularly.See my review for the roll and I would suggest buying both! I used the roll for a seam area on a small bag but they will also be great for normal ironing certain areas of clothing...far better than a ironing sleeve board...so much better.The quality of these are great...firm, robust and solid...perfect!

The quality is very good but i would expect a bigger size

This is a reasonable tailors ham. It is well packed, sturdy and smooth across the top and bottom. However, there is significant puckering of the material at the front curve, which of course may be a problem when trying to press a seam on a narrower or steeper curve. I'm a newbie and just starting with darts etc, hence buying a cheaper tool to begin with. It's perfectly fine for my purposes at the moment, and would recommend to fellow newbies due to low cost and other positive points. However, if you are a more experienced dressmaker or tailer, I'd recommend against it - the flaws in the construction will likely cause you problems in your craft

This is an excellent tailor's ham, and makes ironing curved seams a lot easier. The stuffing is very firm, with very little give, and provides a solid surface for ironing on.I make a lot of shirts. This ham makes ironing seams around the arms and collar during the sewing process much easier than using a flat board.

As a maker of hats for some years I always struggled with pressing the curved seams, resorting to rolled up towels etc. I finally decided to buy this product and it has been a complete game changer. I just wish I had bought one years ago. Well worth the investment.

I had heard about 'Hams' in the past, I was reminded about them when I saw them on Great British Sewing Bee.Why oh why had I not got one before, best piece of kit when dressmaking for pressing awkward curves and achieving the best result you can, I am trying more complex garments and it is a real asset. It will be great when getting the best finish when ironing in general ( I am a bit OCD about my ironing).

Very easy used, great value, makes ironing very easy.

I’ve got several patterns I want to make and this will help me keep my seams and pieces all pressed beautifully. I did a lot of research and just didn’t want to risk getting a cheaper foam filled one. I’ve a few Prym items and haven’t been disappointed so far.
