TECHNIQUES FOR PRESSING
LARGE PIECES OF FABRIC
To press large pieces of fabric, place the entire piece in the storage area behind
the ironing board. The area you want to press first is on the top of the pile. Pull the
fabric towards you, over the ironing board and lower the pressing plate, pressing
each section as you move the fabric forward. Allowing the pressed fabric to drape
in front of the pressing plate will preserve the pressing and give you a complete
job free of wrinkles.
SHIRTS AND BLOUSES
a. Place the shoulder yoke on the ironing board first, face down and press.
b. Place the sleeves on the ironing board, next, with the fold parallel to the long
seam and press.
c. Place the cuffs on the end of the ironing board and press.
d. Place the body of the shirt into the storage area between the pressing plate
and ironing board, away from you. Press the side front of the shirt including
the placket or pocket.
e. Pull the shirt towards you and continue to press each area until complete.
f. Place the shoulder yoke flat on the ironing board. Press to remove the
crease.
g. Place the collar right side up on the ironing board and press.
