  • it is better to move the iron from zone to zone without slipping, rearranging each time to a new place;
  • if the fabric allows the use of steam, this must be done;
  • they switch to the second leg only after the first arrow is completely ironed, and the result is satisfactory;

Do you need gauze or can you do without it?

Suiting fabric used for dress trousers requires delicate handling. Direct contact of the material with the hot soleplate of the iron may result in:

  • scorch marks;
  • shiny places;
  • deformation of the material and other difficult to remove or completely irreparable defects.
To protect the material, an additional material is used, which must be between the iron and the fabric.

foto4117-11Either option serves these purposes:

  • gauze;
  • a piece of cotton fabric;
  • special commercial mesh fabric for ironing.

Without the use of gauze, you can iron the trousers only from the inside, and at the permissible heating temperature of the iron.

Arrows should not be ironed and other work done with an iron from the outside of the trousers without it.

Advantages of using gauze for ironing:

  • does not fade;
  • protects the fabric of trousers from deformation;
  • due to its texture it promotes good steaming;
  • prevents the appearance of glazed unnaturally shiny areas;
  • contributes to a clear smoothing of the arrows.

The use of gauze or other additional fabric will help prolong the life of the trousers and avoid imperfections.

How to smooth with a steamer?

Working with a steamer is different from ironing. The principle of operation of the device allows steam to penetrate deeply into the fabric, even affecting pockets.

When working, you must adhere to the following sequence of actions:

  1. foto4117-12The trousers are fixed in an upright position at the lower edge of the trousers. In this case, the heavier (upper) part of the trousers is at the bottom.
  2. The steamer is turned on by setting it to the required temperature.
  3. Working with the nozzle in the vertical direction, smoothing is carried out without holding it in one place.
  4. The location of the arrows is fixed with special clips that come with the steamer. The clip itself is put on the nozzle of the steamer, and the fabric of the trousers is attached in it in the place where the arrow should be.
  5. Turn on the steam to fix the arrow.

When gaining the skill, the process of smoothing the arrows on the trousers with a steamer will not be difficult.

How to create crisp folds without using an iron?

In addition to the usual way of smoothing the arrows, you can use alternative options using available tools.

Smoothing can be done:

  • influencing the press;
