Ironing Tips.

When ironing men's shirts, do the sleeves before the cuffs, as stiff cuffs make the rest of the sleeve hard to manage.

If you suspect that a frock has artificial silk in its composition, iron it on the wrong side with an iron that is not very hot. Take care that the ironing-blanket is smooth, as a wrinkle may cause a shiny mark on the frock. This may also happen if buttons, seams or pockets are on the underside.

Gored skirts are simple to iron, but remember to iron a seam at the same time as the breadth on each side. Thus one avoids unsightly seam puckerings or fulness.
