Ironing is a major part of any clothing alteration, because when you take in the sides, you will want the seam to sit flat, and because you have been handling the garment it can get creased. Sometimes when you steam a garment the creases don’t come out. The reason is usually because you are continually steaming. Try this exercise –
1. Iron in a forward motion with the steam button pressed so you are steaming the garment.
2. Stop ironing forward and steaming, and just move the iron back over the area you just steamed. There must be no steam.
Conclusion – The fabric should be crease free
Happy sewing
