Ironing and Pressing a Buzz Kidder

[Pleater]

I use a board - it is the stiffening from inside a bolt of material - to press individual pleats - it enables the pleat to be laid out flat even if it would normally fall over the edge of the ironing surface.

Another advantage is that it keeps the pleat separate from the rest, so it does not pick up the shape of a fold or wrinkle from material beneath it.

I'll have to look into that, thanks Pleater.
