Curiosity Question on Pressing Fabric
#6
I press on wrong side first and last on top side . It helps prevent scorching the fabric. High/ thick spots in seams will get scorched easily pressing on the top side. I also use a pressing cloth on the top side.

I'm a situational presser, too. Some fabrics like sateens need to be pressed on the wrong side because of the sheen. Most fabrics, don't but I like to press on the wrong side a lot for no particular reason.

I recently saw an episode of Fons & Porter where a viewer sent in a tip recommending spraying the wrong side of fabric with starch because there are no dyes on the wrong side, therefore absorbing the starch more easily. I tried it and noticed no difference. I iron from the right side.
