Pressing doesn't do the work. Click to see original instructions.
I had a thought while I was ironing the other day. You see, I always want to press harder on the iron to get wrinkles out. This must be a common instinct, because I’ve seen irons with warnings not to press too hard. This is because the pushing doesn’t do so much good as the heat and the steam.
So here’s a thought–why not build an iron that can change the heat and steam depending on the pressure applied? As you press harder you get more steam and heat. You could put buttons on it to choose a fabric, thereby choosing maximum heat & steam levels. That way your silk doesn’t scorch.
Now the real question. Has this been done? I haven’t seen such a thing. Leave a comment if you have!
