What it does

How to use it

Common questions
How is it different from the 09223?
Only the back. The 09253 is flat-backed and limber. The 09223 is extruded-backed and stiff and holds a heavy fill flat.
Can it finish a whole seam?
Only narrow fields. A full seam's last feather needs a 10 to 12" blade.
Will it rust?
Yes, if left wet. Wipe it dry. The stainless 09353 needs no care.
Why not buy the stiff one?
The flat back feathers with less effort. The stiff back holds a load flat. Pick for how you work.
