"This is a press and we often do sweaters on presses. A press can be pressed down and be hard. I don't press down sweaters hard usually. Now a press has lots of different controls a this is steam. This will lock the press down its another foot peddle and this will give me steam from the bottom up. So you could just steam then gently and move on. If I pressed it down it would make creases all aver and I really don't want creases. If it is a wool sweater or something that I could put on my susie. I would put in on a susie but this being that it might stretch I don't want to stretch it any more. I would do it this way. Then I would take it off and fold it and put it on a hanger and hang it over a hanger cause I don't want to stretch it. Its been steamed."
