In my opinion, it's just easier to pinch the dumpling/gyoza by hand.
Once you make a few batches, it's gets much easier.
Eggroll wrappers are not the same as gyoza wrappers and do not make
good gyoza. You could also make your own dumpling wrappers. I've done
it twice. The second batch was better than the first. I really like
the texture of the homemade skins but it is very time consuming when
you add to the process of making the gyoza. I usually just buy the
premade gyoza skins at my local Asian market.

When I do make them, I make a lot, and I freeze them. I place the
filled gyoza on a sheet pan and freeze them. Once they are frozen I
portion them for individual servings. My son likest them for a snack
or quick dinner depending on how many he takes out of the freezer.
