 What I Need to Know

This DRESSMAKING course leads to National Certificate Level II. This is

designed for Grade 9 student to develop competencies: plans, designs and sews
sleeping garments and children’s wear. It discusses and explains the tools, materials
and equipment used in the making of desired products. It also demonstrates different
techniques and processes which will guide the learner in developing the skills and
knowledge to work effectively and efficiently.

The module has two lessons namely:

Lesson 11 – Application of Heat and Pressure

Lesson 12 - Tips in Pressing the Garment

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. Discuss the tips in pressing the sleeping garments;
2. Apply appropriate amount of heat and pressure for a certain type of fabric;
3. Show the attitude of being careful when applying heat in pressing.

What I Know

Directions. Give the amount of heat to be applied on the following types of fabric.
Tell whether it is HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW. Write your answer on your activity
notebook.

1. acetate 4. wool
2. Cotton 5. nylon
3. Silk

 Lesson PRESSING SLEEPING
11-12 GARMENTS
When it comes to ironing clothing made with cloth you aren't used to, knowing
what ironing setting you should use is really important. Knowing how to iron cotton
is easy, but if you've been wondering how to iron wool in your favorite skirt or how
to iron your silk blouse, there are specific instructions that can help make sure you
are not only getting a wrinkle-free garment but are also taking extra care of your
clothing so it lasts a longer. Whether you use high heat like on cotton, denim, muslin
or calico or medium heat like on wool or silk, use our helpful chart to get the most
out of your iron so that you are always wrinkle free.

The following are information that would lead to

need your own discretion upon checking or you may
use a rubric if provided. Please review the activities and
answer keys and amend if necessary.

 What’s New

Try to look at the picture on the right. What can you

say about it? What will happen to the cloth that the girl
is holding? Is there any possible solution for this
problem?

For you to answer the above questions, let

us study the lesson on the application of heat and
pressure for different types of fabrics.

What Is It

Special Treatment of Fabrics

Because every fabric is different, your ironing technique may need to be

adjusted to make sure you don't damage your favorite linen pants or cashmere
sweater. Make sure to check the label inside your clothing or linens to see the
recommended fabric care instructions, including ironing recommendations. Follow
these simple rules if you are missing a label:

 If you are ironing a piece of clothing but don’t know what the fabric is made
out of, use the lowest temperature first and test on an inside seam.

 Use a low-temperature setting if you are ironing a fabric blend

 If you are ironing clothing made of multiple types of fabric, start on a low
setting

Natural Fibers
 How to Iron Cotton (denim, muslin, calico, chintz): Iron on high heat while
still damp. If the fabric is dry, pre-moisten it with a spray bottle or use the
spray button on your iron to dampen the fabric. Use steam and spray if
necessary.

 How to Iron Silk: Use a medium heat setting and dry iron inside out. To press
a silk tie, lay it on top of a pressing cloth right-side facing down, then press.

3
  How to Iron Wool (cashmere, flannel): Use a pressing cloth and steam iron
inside out on medium heat.

Synthetic Fibers

 How to Iron Acetate: Using low heat, dry iron without steam on the wrong
side of the fabric.

 How to Iron Acrylic: With the iron on low heat, dry iron without steam on
the wrong side of the fabric. Use spray if necessary.

 How to Iron Nylon: Use low heat and dry iron without steam. Use spray if
necessary.

 How to Iron Polyester: Iron while still damp, pre-moisten it with a spray
bottle, or use the spray button on your iron to dampen the fabric. Use low or
medium heat.

Whether you are ironing linen, silk or cotton, the most important thing is to
have an iron that works well and is up to making your clothing or fabric wrinkle-
free. Look for an iron that not only has temperature settings but includes specific
fabric types so you don't have to guess. A steam or spray feature is also incredibly
important. For more tips on ironing and iron types, explore the rest of our Iron
101 series.

 5 SEWING TIPS FOR BETTER PRESSING

1. Test the iron on a scrap of fabric first to find the right heat level

It can be so easy to burn or even melt your fabric. It’s happened to

the best of us. So before you ever touch iron to fabric, test out different
heat and steam levels on a scrap of the fabric.

2. Use a press cloth

If you have a really delicate fabric, use a press cloth to protect it from the
iron. The press cloth creates a barrier between your project and the iron, reducing
the amount of heat and steam that hit the project. Simply lay your project on the
ironing board then place the press cloth on top and press away.

3. Be gentle
Just as fabric can be burned or melted it can also be warped or
stretched when pressing. Even though we call this activity “pressing” you
really don’t need to press with the iron at all. Let the weight of the iron be
the only pressure put on the fabric and don’t add to it. If you think you
might be using too much pressure with your iron, try to adopt an up and
down motion, lifting your iron from place to place instead of sliding it.
4. Press every seam after sewing

When sewing woven fabrics, it’s important to press each seam

after you sew it. Pressing your seams flat (either open or to the side as the
pattern requires) will help it fit better with the next part of the garment. If
the seams are not pressed flat, you risk getting wrinkles and bubbles when
it’s stitched to another piece of fabric.

5. Use tools to help press the tricky stuff

The tailors ham, sleeve board and clapper board are some of the
tools that could be very helpful in making a successful pressing.

What I Have Learned

Direction: Answer the following questions comprehensively. Write your answers on

your notebook.

1. What are the tips in pressing a garment?

2. Why is it important to know the correct way of applying heat and pressure on
fabrics?
