Irons

[Schneiderfrei]

And of course there's nothing wrong - and nothing can go wrong - with a heavy dry iron and a press cloth.  That's how tailors worked for centuries before all this fancy stuff was invented 

Other than not paying attention, forgetting to lift it from the cloth, forgetting to turn it off when it has come to heat. burning the garment or worse burning out the iron element -

My current iron spits and releases steam whenever it feels like, without me pressing the button. If I do press the button, no matter how hot the iron and water, it makes puddles like a nervous puppy. And the spray button is just incontinent. I'm forced to use it dry, but I would much rather have steam. Some fabrics just do better when hung on a dummy and steamed without an iron. As long as a boiler-type will blow steam from a vertical iron, me happy.

Well it's time to replace your current iron, but you don't need to spend a lot of money.  My stepdaughter still has a cheap Black & Decker steam household model I bought maybe 20 years ago.  It's all I need to work on pajamas and shirts when the wife and I are visiting.

Steaming a vertically hung garment can remove wrinkles, but it will also destroy any shape you've deliberately built in with stretching and fulling.  It's kind of the opposite thing most tailors do.
