OTHER TECHNIQUES
• Placing Pressing Cushion between fabric and Pressing Plate may help with delicate fabrics.
• If you have older types of buttons or zippers, you may need to take special care to avoid
melting. In order to do so, place garment face-down and cover with Pressing Cushion
before pressing.
• Spray Bottle may be used to spray fabric lightly. This will help to remove stubborn wrinkles.
• Place damp cloth over fabric before pressing. This will help with stubborn wrinkles or heavy
gauge fabrics.
• To press large pieces of fabric, place entire piece behind Ironing Board. Pull fabric toward
you over Ironing Board and lower Pressing Plate. Press fabric in sections until completed.
• Place embroidery face down on Ironing Board to reduce wear and prevent damage to
delicate areas.
USING PRESSING CUSHION
1. For garments constructed with details such as darts,
curved seams, and shoulder pads, a Pressing Cushion
may be used.
2. Use Pressing Cushion in areas where no creases are
desired or to shape a tailored garment.
3. Place area to be pressed on the Ironing Board.
4. Place Pressing Cushion under dart, seam, etc.
5. Making sure the area to be pressed is raised, lower
Pressing Plate until it meets the raised area.
