Pressing

The idea of pressing off is to give the final finish to the garment. One should not confuse pressing with ironing. Fabrics are pressed during the construction of a garment to form crease lines, to flatten seams and folds and to shape the garment to fit the body. Before pressing one should use a cloth-brush to remove lint or dust from the fabric.

Everybody knows pressing to be divided into two processes: underpressing and offpressing. Underpressing operations are done during the process of sewing; offpressing means the final pressing for the improvement of the fit and the attractiveness of a garment.

Pressing is done by means of pressing machines, while ironing is made with a sliding motion of the iron. We know pressing to be done on the wrong side of the fabric. Different fabrics need different treatment, especially care should be taken of synthetic materials. Exactly the right amount of heat must be applied to obtain successful results. Cotton and linen can stand quite a high temperature, although linen requires special care. Only a moderately warm iron should be used on silks and synthetics. One should better keep in mind all the rules of pressing.
