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.

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

desired or to shape a tailored garment.
