IRONING LARGE FLAT ITEMS
To iron larger, fl at items such as tablecloths, the center
section of the fabric is pressed fi rst, then the sides of the
tablecloth are pressed.
1. Place the tablecloth centered over the heating shoe with
the ends of the tablecloth falling off each end of the
heating shoe. Press the center section of the tablecloth.
2. With the roller in the raised position, gently pull the
fabric back towards you over the heating shoe.
3. Softly fold the tablecloth in half and place the tablecloth
so that the ironed part hangs over at one end of the
heating shoe. This will prevent pressing a crease into the
center of the tablecloth.
4. Placing your index fi nger between the two layers of
fabric will act as a guide and allow you greater control as
the tablecloth to feeds through, helping to eliminate the
any unwanted creases. If necessary, turn over the table
cloth and iron it on the other side.
IRONING BED LINENS
Bed linens, such as duvet covers, can be ironed either from
the left or right side. In either case, button it up or zip it fi rst,
making sure that the buttons or zipper face upward toward
the ironing roller.
Because a duvet cover consists of two layers of fabric, it
should not be folded for ironing. A cover must be ironed
section by section. Where there is heavy creasing, it should
be ironed from both sides.
Duvet covers are basically ironed in the lengthwise direction
starting from the buttonhole/zipper side.
Begin at one end of the cover and iron the necessary sections.
Each time, pull the duvet cover forward, out over the heating
shoe and position it again.
