I see a lot of photos in the galleries with a very realistic looking seam when people are decorating with fondant to make it look like fabric. I tried this by pricking with a toothpick but it does not show as well and does not look anywhere as neat. Is there a trick to this? I would appreciate any help on this. Thank you.

If you're talking about making stitch marks, you can use a serrated tracing wheel used for sewing like this one: http://www.joann.com/joann/shop/shop_zoom.jsp;jsessionid=DCERGEJCFVHJMP4SY5KVAFJ50LD3OUPU?CATID=cat3347&PRODID=prd10308&SKUID=sku7546

This is the link to the PME sugarcraft tool for making the same mark but is more expensive than the serrated tracing wheel: http://globalsugarart.com/product.php?id=17378

Wilton also had a ribbon embosser/cutter that does the same thing. It has 3 interchangeable wheels, one for cutting straight, one does a wavey edge and one does these lines. It is wilton, so not too much usually (I think it was 3.99) and can be found at most places with the 40% off coupons.
