"There are forms you can put in on them, but I choose to do it this way. If this is a pre-made tie as this is, I want to press it single-layer. And I would press down on it, do the steam, and then get it out. And there is your tie. Now, if it is a longer tie, I would lay the whole tie out. Some people use a form, I don't. Now, I do not press the back with the front because you're going to have a line there, and we don't want any lines on this. So I would lay the tie out, again lock it in, and press it. And then I would finish the other part, I may do this first but it depends, it doesn't really matter. This way, and here is my tie, all nice and clean. "
