Towels, dishcloths,
handkerchiefs, napkins, etc.
^
Lay the item with the straight grain of
the fabric to the feed board.
This will prevent it from losing its shape
and will be easier to fold.
Pass handkerchiefs diagonally through
the rotary iron and, if necessary, fold
them and then iron again.
^
Please use the whole length of the
roller.
Tablecloths
^
Avoid creases by ironing the middle
first.
^
Lay the tablecloth crossways, so that
the ends hang over to the left and
right.
^
Iron the middle section first.
^
Fold in half lengthwise.
^
Fold in half with unironed edges
together and place over the left end
of the roller with the ironed middle
section hanging over the edge to
prevent creasing. Then pass both
sides of the non ironed sections
through the rotary iron.
^
If needed, make one more pass once
the tablecloth is folded.
Sheets and bedspreads
Sheets may be ironed like tablecloths,
or if a lengthwise fold is acceptable,
fold the sheet together lengthwise and
iron it on both sides.
To accentuate embroidery and raised
patterns on bedspreads, iron first in
one direction and then in the other.
