how do u iron??

Answer 1

With an ironing board, an iron, and a can of starch.

Answer 2

OK, boy I am very surprised anyone out there wants to learn. But assuming you have the iron and the board, lets go. Each item requires a different set of steps. know your fabric, don't have the iron too hot or too cool for the material. Now I will tell you about shirts, pants, flat wear(sheets,table cloths,napkins).
shirts-- with the shirt unbuttoned lie the back of the shirt on the ironing board. Iron it flat and use the point of iron to go along the seems at top in corners. Now take one arm and flatten it so a crease is formed down the middle. Press
( sometimes I use a light spray starch). Do the other arm. Now do each side of the front going in between each button with point of iron. Last do the collar. Listen this could take up too much time email for the rest. P,S. a god tip is to have the clothes damp when you iron. When I was young this was accomplished with a spray bottle of water or Take the article of clothing and sprinkle water on it with your fingers. Roll the clothing into a little ball and do the next article etc. You will have little balls of clothes that when you get ready to iron you unwrap and they are dampened. Good Luck. I love a nicely pressed shirt!!

What does ironing have to do with Singles & Dating?

How you iron depends on what you are ironing. Heat up the iron (per instructions), place the item to be ironed on an ironing board or appropriate flat surface, and then run the warm/hot iron over the fabric until wrinkles are gone. That's the bare basics.

Answer 4

Assuming that you've got all of your equipment to hand (iron, ironing board, spray container of either water, which is my preferance, or starch), first pay attention to what kind of fabric you're working with. Synthetics (nylon, polyester, acrylics, man-made fabrics) will scorch or burn if the temp of the iron is too high. Natural fabrics (cotton, wool, silk) can take a bit more heat, a higher setting.
Settings adjusted, just lay the article of clothing (or tablecloth or whatever) flat on the board and push the iron over it until the wrinkles are gone. If you've got a really stubborn wrinkle you can spritz that spot lightly with the water (soak it and it will probably leave a big water mark), then go over it again with the iron until it's gone. (Sometimes you can't get them out unless you rewash, or wet down the fabric all over again.)
Technique differs from one person to another so feel free to experiment until you find an order you like.
For myself, (and having been married for 25 years to an anal nazi) I iron the collar first, then the cuffs and sleeves, then move around the body of the piece. I like to do the more intricate stuff first so that the smoothed parts don't get wrinkled all up again when doing the smaller parts.

With an iron and following the care instructions on the garment.

Spray starch can be really helpful with stuff that wrinkles easily, but it also can be a pain to spray starch sometimes.

Answer 7

I used to iron. I gave it up for Lent one year, and haven't ironed since, except the 'rare occasion' ... like when I bought 'full length curtains' of faux suede for our 'window wall' and wanted them to 'look nicer' from the start. Other than that, NEVER! I really LOVE 'wash and wear fabrics!'
