Pressing seams

When pressing seams, first press flat to "set" your seam. Then use the side of your iron to open it.

Steam distorts your seams, so press with a dry iron. If you must use steam, be sure to let the fabric cool completely before lifting it from your board.

If pressing a item made using fabric texturized with Texture Magic™, please be sure to press from the fabric side.  You do not want to touch the Texture Magic™ with a hot iron as it will make it stiff and hard.
