Hey guys.

Anyone got good skills with the iron? Help me out!

It's like riding a bicycle, you just have to keep at it until something clicks and then you know how to iron.

Find an iron with a bigass huge metal base, don't buy one of those pink girly ones with only a few mm for the base, you want that heavy metal base to ease out the wrinkles.

Fill the iron with water, plug it in, put it on a low heat setting, and experiment away. As you get more comfortable with, raise the heat setting.

Cotton requires a high heat setting, delicate fabrics a lower heat setting, and never iron over a print, the print will melt.

Always leave the iron in an upright position when you walk away from the board, or you'll cause a fire one day when you forget to switch it off.
