Moving an Iron on Clothes

Video Transcript

"Today we've been talking about ironing and guess what we finally get to iron, whooo, yeah. I know are you as excited as I am? Trust me though all of these steps we've taken up to this point will help you save time in the long run I promise. So first I'm going to start with a little poly blend here. Ok and look at the shape of your board, remember that we had that tinfoil underneath so it's going to get nice and warm. Put the collar in line with the edge of the board. See how smooth that makes it? I'm going to grab my iron and I always leave it down over here. Make sure my steam is going, there we go and what you want to do, steam can be a little bit dangerous, so you want to make sure to keep moving your iron away from you. I know this seems very simple but you can get burned easily by having steam on your hands. So just move it away from you. When in doubt, simple, simple movements. Steam, ok. Now I want to show you a little trick with buttons. What I have here are big buttons on this sweater. So again I'm going to line this up and my iron has two kinds of divots right at the nose there. What those divots are for is to help me maneuver around the buttons, and save my buttons. What happens a lot of times is we iron and our little buttons get popped off. But this lets me go right up, right up there in between if you can see that. In between the buttons like that. See that. No fear of knocking those buttons off, just like that. Getting good steam away from you. On the other end, side same thing, getting good steam, moving away. Pulling your fabrics, pulling your clothes away. Ok, so I think we got how to move your clothes around the board. Let's move on to the next thing."
