This shaping aid pushes corners and edges out without piercing the fabric. Made in the size 12.5 cm × 2.5 cm. Sold as a single item. Made from plastic.
Coated fabrics stay clear of the iron; smoothing by hand or a brief press through paper is enough there. For patchwork and small pieces a solution that does not demand the full ironing board pays off. Standing a hot appliance on a heat-resistant rest keeps the sewing table usable and risks no scorch mark. Anyone sewing regularly likes to keep such notions in duplicate.
What Prym Love Ecken- und Kantenformer Mint 610192 is suitable for
- Shaping corners and edges
- Work right at the sewing station
- Darning and mending
Frequently asked questions
May I press coated fabrics?
Not directly. A sheet of baking paper between iron and fabric protects the coating, and often smoothing by hand is quite enough. A test on a scrap shows within a minute what the surface tolerates.
Where does a hot iron go?
On a heat-resistant rest, not on the sewing table. A silicone rest takes the heat and can simply be put aside once cool. Without a rest, at least stand the iron on a tile.
When do I press while sewing?
After every seam, before the next one crosses it. That is the difference between a piece that lies flat and one that bulks at the junctions.
Is a second appliance at the sewing station worth it?
For anyone sewing in many short steps it saves every walk to the ironing board. For patchwork and appliqué it usually proves itself within the first project.
