how do iron creases into my husbands pants correctly? where do the creases end when starting from the bottom.?

Answer 1

It would be so much easier to show you, but here goes:

1. Before you start, pretty much iron the pants so the wrinkles are gone. I think that putting the creases in the pants should come last.
2. Take the pant legs by the bottom and match all four seams.
3. Give them a shake to straighten and make sure the legs are not twisted.
4. Shift so you are holding the bottom of the pant legs with one hand.
5. Look down at the waistband in front to see if these pants have pleats at the waistband on either side of the zipper or not.
a. If they do, pinch the pleats together and then shake the pants. You should now have a nice straight line from the cuff up to the pleat in front.
b. If the pants don't have pleats, fold the waistband at the first belt loop and then shake as above.
6. After you finish either a. or b., take the pants over to the ironing board and lay them down as you are holding them (one leg on top of the other), keeping the pant line taunt.
7. Now iron the line all the way from the cuff through the pleat at the top on both sides.
8. Be careful to keep the pants still or you will have railroad tracks rather than one nice crease.
9. The back crease is made by keeping the pants folded the same on the ironing board, and smoothing them out so you have a fold in back.
10. It will look strange because a correct crease will angle in toward the center back seam.
11. The back crease ends about 4"+ below the waistband, or just below where the bottom of the back pockets start.

Good luck!

The best way is to take them to a dry cleaner and have them pressed.

If you want to do it yourself, form the crease by lining up the stitch on either side of the pant leg. Take a spray bottle filled with water and dampen the material. Then run the iron over the leg to press in the crease. Continue to iron out the leg until the water evaporates. If you want the crease to be stiff, use spray sizing instead of water. It can be purchased in the detergent isle of any grocery store.

The crease should end at the top of the leg where the inseam starts. This should be roughly where the front pocket ends.

Good luck.

Answer 3

As a new housewife myself, I wondered that too. ha ha I found out though the best thing to do is grab the pants by the bottom(where the feet go). On one side of the pants, match the seams together.That way, it makes a seam go down the center of your husbands leg like it should. Then, you should use water in your iron and iron away. I like to end the lines where the legs end (to put it nicely). Your husband will be bending and sitting so therefore you don't have to worry about that area since it will not need a line. You can also use a spray starch if the occasion is really special to make the pants more stiff. Plus, I would also recommend that you hang the pants upside down on a pants hanger - seams in on both legs like you have ironed. That way, the pants won't lose the seam as much and you will have a guide for next time you iron. Good Luck!

Answer 5

Hand the iron to your husband and tell him if he wants creases - iron them himself.

You could try to get them out of the dryer before it stops and hang them right away. If hung on a pant hanger properly they should have a crease.
