Next to your sewing machine, your iron is your most important piece of
equipment for sewing. For the best results with your sewing projects you should
start every project by pressing the pieces of fabric to be cut, and then
pressing in between every line sewn. This allows you to have good crisp edges,
corners, and seam lines. It sets your stitches (this means the thread is blended
in with the fabric instead of sitting on top of the fabric), flattens and
smoothes any puckers, and gives your projects an overall more professional look.
Did you know there really is a difference between pressing and ironing? I
didn‘t. Ironing is what we do before we put on clothes, that are wrinkled. When
you iron you SLIDE filter press
supplier your iron back and forth on the fabric with pressure. Pressing is
what we do when we are sewing. When you press, you place the iron down on your
fabric, then lift it back up in quick intervals. you repeat this up and down
motion, overlapping as you go. The biggest difference between the two, is that
ironing can stretch and change the lay (grain line) of your fabric. This is why
when my girls were real young and just starting, and their lines were a little
crooked, I would iron their seams in order to manipulate the fabric to appear
straight. I used this a lot with their quilting projects. It is also important
to know that although the word is press, it does not mean to push down real
hard. What "presses" your project, is having the CORRECT heat or steam when
simply setting the iron down. Otherwise, speaking from experience, you risk
leaving an impression of the seam on the right side of the fabric, and if your
working with a fabric that has a nap (plush fabrics like: velvet, velour,
corduroy...) you can flatten the nap. Again, it is the correct temperature of
the heat or steam that does most of the job. So the other problems that can
occur (also speaking from, "been there, done that") includes: scorching,
shrinking (from the steam), and leaving shiny marks on the fabric. To avoid all
of these, ALWAYS before sewing, use scrap pieces of the fabric you are working
with, and test it for heat and steam tolerance. There is nothing worse than
spending time sewing together a beautiful project and then laying down your iron
to press a seam and the fabric is ruined, AND you don‘t have enough fabric to
cut out the piece Centrifuge
Of Up Discharging Three Foot Clean Series SSB SB that you ruined; THEN (deep
breath) you finally make it back to the fabric store to find out that they are
out of the fabric. YOU GUESSED IT - I am speaking from experience!! Some fabrics
are just too delicate to handle direct heat. In this case use a pressing cloth.
This is simply a cloth that is placed over the fabric you are working with to
protect it from direct heat. You can buy a "pressing cloth", but I have found
that bandanas and/or muslin work great for this. The Dos and Don‘ts of Pressing:
1. Start by pressing on the wrong side of the fabric 2. Press seam allowances
either open or to one side before sewing across a seam. 3. make sure you let
your fabric cool or dry before moving it, otherwise it can distort the shape of
the fabric. 4. Do NOT press over pins. Not only will they melt, it can also
cause puckers that are hard to remove. You also do NOT want to iron over basted
lines, again because it can leave an impression that is hard to get out. 5.
Never use starch when sewing. Over time, the starch on the SX
Type Manual Bottom Discharge Centrifuge fabric will cause a sticky residue
that builds up on the needle of your sewing machine, which then leads to lint
sticking to the mechanisms in the sewing machine. When quilting, we sometimes
use magic sizing (you get this at the grocery store where the starch is
located). So what type of iron is best for sewing? With sewing it is important
to have a good steam iron. You need one that allows you to press with or without
steam. After speaking with several professional seamstresses, and my older
daughter sewing more professional looking projects, I followed their advice and
bought a separate iron just for sewing. By having a separate iron, I don‘t have
to take the time to clean the excess starch from ironing our clothes, before
working on our sewing projects. What other equipment is important to have for
pressing? Starting off, all you need is an ironing board or an ironing surface
that is covered with a light padding and cotton fabric. Because pressing truly
makes the difference between a homemade looking project and a professional
looking project, as you sew more often, you will want to enlarge your pressing
tools based on what you prefer making. The two additional tools we use often,
are a sleeve board and a pressing ham. Sleeve boards look like a mini ironing
board which allows you to get smaller tubes, such as sleeves, over the board to
press, as well as get to "hard to reach" places. The pressing ham is great for
pressing curved edges and seams, to get the natural shape of the curve, instead
of a flat look. You may be wondering, "if I have to press in between almost
every step, how do I keep my young kids focused on what we are doing"? This is
why the first thing we do, is review all of the steps to figure out all of the
sewing lines we can do at the same time. Then we pin them all, sew them all, and
finally we press the seams sewn. Then we repeat the process. This helps you to
not only keep your child‘s focus, but to manage your time. And if you are the
one sewing, it keeps you from getting leg cramps from getting up and down all
the time! To also help manage your time, make sure you have your ironing board
and iron set up close to your sewing area. Remember, irons are dangerous! They
can burn you, and cause fires. So YOU must decide when your child is ready to
start pressing. Because of these dangers, I actually got an automatic shut off
on my iron. Good thing to!!!
