This worked very well, but I noticed that if you smooth against the grain, the fabric stretches. When I smoothed before and while ironing, I did so with the grain, which kept the fabric from distorting. Thank you for the great tip.

The instructions written out 1. Relax fibers by dampening your fabric 2. Let it sit 3. Take hands to smooth fabric as flat as you can 4. Take hand and smooth before you iron You may have to do this a couple times. Now you can press it 1. Spray it with your preferred starch 2. Let it sit for a couple minutes so starch gets a chance to soak into fibers 3. Press it like normal

Funny, when I was a little girl I watched my Mom on laundry day shake water onto the clothes, roll them up, place in a plastic bag, and put them in the refrigerator for a while. Later she'd get the clothes out and iron them. I guess it wasn't a steam iron and she had to make her own steam.

I know the video is 5 years old, and I think the tips here are very helpful. The problem I'm having is finding an iron that actually gets hot enough to iron out the wrinkles. I did a search to find the best irons, and the top ones are available on Amazon yet most of the complaints are that the iron is not getting hot enough. So if we have the best irons not getting hot enough, that's a problem. Even people who say they've bought the same iron in the past and it doesn't seem to be the same when they replaced it with the exact same iron today.

I'm not clear if you are addressing ALL types of fabric; there is a HUGE difference between pressing my 100% cotton creases (easy) and my elderly mothers 100% polyester creases that seem stubborn and permanent. A dryer did not cooperate and the low heat setting actually dried with high heat . . . resulting in a plethora of seemingly permanent wrinkles in all her polyester pants. Did I ruin all her pants or is there a solution out there to my conundrum??? Please help . . . anybody out there??? Thanks.
@SewVeryEasy6 жыл бұрын
Her pants might have permanent set creases running down the leg. If this is the case it will not be pressed out. Try this... wash the pants and let them dry on a table flat into the position that you want them to be pressed in or just out very flat. Run your hands over the pants stretching out the wrinkles. Keep an eye on them and if it looks like the wrinkles will flatten out, let it dry laying flat. If not, let it almost dry and press them with a pressing cloth until they are dry. Hope this helps:)

My husband has some silk shirts that are full of wrinkles. I tried this trick and unfortunately, it didn't work. They would look smooth and flat, but then the wrinkles would just come right back on the hanger. It's almost like the shirt was never ironed to begin with. I even tried re-washing them and pulling them out of the dryer before they were completely dry, then running my hands over the wrinkles as I ironed. Again, they looked smooth and flat, but as they cool, the wrinkles come back again. Any ideas?

Try steaming it. Lie the fabric wrong side up. Steam it with the iron, do not touch the iron to the surface just steam. Well it is hot tap it and iron it with your hands until it has cooled down. If you find The wrinkles are coming out continue a couple of times steaming and pressing with your hands

I think!! what the tags means (no iron muslin) is that it will not need ironing like a " no iron shirt" it will not get wrinkles. You can iron cotton and you can iron poly, so you should be able to iron this. Use medium iron and test a small corner first. Start with a lower heat and go up as needed.

As hot as the fabric will accept without damage. Most synthetic fibers and fiber blends can't take as much heat as natural fibers such as 100% cotton. Always do a test piece when unsure of how much heat a fabric will take. A press cloth may also be needed in some situations.
