Did you know?Pressing and ironing are not the same thing. When you iron, the iron slides over the surface of the fabric. In pressing, the iron is lifted and lowered over the fabric in an up/down motion There is no sliding! We iron garments that are already constructed. We press seams and areas of garment that are in the construction process... a combination of steam, heat and pressure sets the seams or molds the fabric.
