How to iron a shirt quickly but with a perfect result?

Answer 1

I hate to iron, but my mother always ironed everything and she showed me her process. She felt that if you always iron in the same manner then it would become a quick process and that you are less likely to miss something. When I do iron, I try to use the process she taught me. As for a shirt, she started with the yoke or collar first, both sides and then do the arms & then the main body. Make sure to iron then underside of the side with the buttons, it is much easier than messing with the buttons. starch also helps. But find what ever works best for you and create a process so that it becomes second nature and then the process will go quickly with consistant results.

Answer 2

Use the highest heat allowed by the label.

Steam will help but remember the label, steam will damage some trims.
Also do NOT iron over any screen printing - turn the shirt inside out and iron over the design from the inside of the shirt. Don't leave the iron long over the design area.

Answer 3

lay the shirt out on 2 big towels on the kitchen table. iron front and back at the same time. oh yeah, remember to do the collar, yoke and sleeves first. done in half the time.

Answer 4

Using Magic Sizing or a light spray startch will speed your ironing...start with the collar, then the sleeves and finish with the body.. using the higest heat with steam possible.
