📋 Prerequisites & What You Need

To iron a shirt, lay the shirt out on the ironing board, with the collar facing up. Use a tailor's ham or seam roller to help shape the collar and remove wrinkles.

🔧 Step 1: Prepare the Ironing Board

Start by preparing the ironing board. Cover the board with a ironing board cover to prevent scorching and to help the iron glide smoothly over the fabric. If you're using a steam iron, make sure the water reservoir is filled and the steam function is turned on.

⚙️ Step 2: Iron the Collar

Iron the collar by placing the iron on the underside of the collar and ironing in a smooth, even motion. Use a gentle touch and avoid applying too much pressure, which can cause the fabric to stretch or distort. Using a microfiber cloth can help remove wrinkles and creases without scorching the fabric.

Iron the sleeves and cuffs by placing the iron on the sleeves and ironing in a smooth, even motion. Use a gentle touch and avoid applying too much pressure, which can cause the fabric to stretch or distort. Using a sleeve board can help shape the sleeves and remove wrinkles.
