Ironing is sliding the iron back and forth on your fabric whereas pressing is placing your iron on the fabric and pressing down with some force, often applying steam at the same time. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e3.     Take care not to press over pins as this can melt the plastic heads, if they have them, or leave impressions in the fabric that can be difficult to remove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e4.     Before you cut your fabric, give it a good press to remove any creases and restore its crispness. Using a synthetic starch such as Best Press or Starch Savvy will really make a difference as creases remove more easily and it will give your fabric a slight stiffness that makes cutting and sewing easier and more accurate. This does wash out if needs be to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e5.     After you have sewn a seam you should press it flat. The motion of the needle and thread stitching through the fabric will distort it a little and your finished seam may look a little uneven. A quick press will set the seam into the fabric, giving you a neater finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e6.     With patchwork you often need to press seams to one side. This helps with nesting seams, is quicker to do and also makes the seams a little stronger as the threads on an open seam are more exposed. To do this, place the fabric RS down then push both seam allowances over to the side you want them to face and press. Turn the fabric over to the RS and press again to make sure the fabric is flat without creases but making sure these seam allowances stay pressed over to one side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e7.     To press a seam open and flat, open up the seam with your fingers then press it flat from the WS.
