Pressing Techniques
Pressing techniques are methods used to apply heat and pressure to fabrics, helping to remove wrinkles and shape garments. Common techniques include using a steam iron, which releases steam to relax fibers, and a pressing cloth, which protects delicate fabrics from direct heat.
Another technique is tailoring, where specific areas of a garment are pressed to achieve a desired fit and finish. Pressing ham and sleeve board are tools that assist in reaching curved areas and sleeves, ensuring a polished look. Proper pressing is essential in garment construction and maintenance for a professional appearance.
