Tools for Ironing Jeans

Hello, I'm Donna Beth Joy Shapiro on behalf of Expert Village and today I'm going to show you how to iron a pair of jeans. In this clip, we are going to talk about the tools you would need. You need an iron. This is a steam iron. It's a nice, heavy iron. The heavier the better. The higher the wattage, the better it is. This is seven hundred and fifty watts. It gives you a nice burst of steam. It gives you the spray. You could use a less expensive iron. It does exactly the same thing. It may not get as hot as this particular iron, but with the right starch or spray water, you'll be able to get all of the wrinkles out of your shirt. If you have a synthetic shirt, and you want to give it a certain amount of shine, you could use sizing. Sizing is used only on synthetic fabrics. For cotton shirts or linen shirts, starch gives a heavy garment a lot of body. I like heavy starch. Some people prefer the lighter starch. If you don't want to use either of those, but have very stubborn wrinkles, you could just spray it with water. You also need an ironing board. This is a standard size ironing board. Ironing boards do come wider now. The bigger the board, the better. The covers are a little hard to find for the bigger boards. So, if all you have is a table top, you want to make sure that you put the board at the corner of the table, so that the garment can hang free over the side of the table. If you have this in the middle of the table, you will not be able to get the wrinkles out of your shirt because you are going to keep wrinkling it every time you move it.
