The mesh is made of durable heat-resistant material, improves the degree of ironing, protects things, simplifies the process of steaming. It prevents the soleplate of the iron from coming into contact with clothing, thereby protecting delicate fabrics such as linen, silk, wool, velvet, etc. Due to the transparency of the cells, the surface to be ironed is easily visible.
Types depending on the presence of edging:
The presence of a special strip along the edges protects against crumbling and deformation during prolonged use. Models without edging are somewhat cheaper, but they will last less.
For the most comfortable work, you must follow the simple rules of ironing through the net. Do not press too hard on the iron and pull the fabric in different directions. The iron should move from top to bottom.
First iron the back, then the shelves, sleeves, cuffs, front (this applies to shirts, blouses, jumpers). Skirts are ironed from the bottom up, if it consists of several layers, start from the bottom. If the product is overall, and the length of the mesh is not enough for full-fledged work, it must be carefully moved along the canvas, making sure that there are no uncovered areas during work.
Decor elements such as buttons, rivets, zippers, beads and beads must be bypassed.Here, an iron with a sharp nose will be an excellent assistant, allowing you to iron the largest possible space between the buttons.
If a pattern is glued to the fabric, it must be ironed as carefully as possible even when using additional accessories. The unstable base sticks not only to polyester, but also to the surface of the iron.
This type of product is quite inexpensive, so there is no need to make it yourself. But, with a strong desire, you can make a simplified model, not from polyester, but from ordinary gauze. To preserve the shape and durability of the application, it is better to make a fabric edging around the edges.
To make a gauze mesh, you will need a piece of medical gauze of the right size, and any dense fabric. The fabric must be folded over and stitched along the edges of the gauze.
If you want to make a durable version, buy a small piece of heat-resistant polyester from the store, make a piping and you can use it.
To preserve the attractive appearance of things, it is necessary to observe the recommended temperature regime when ironing. So, products made of chiffon, silk, must be ironed at a temperature not higher than 70-80 degrees, woolen things can withstand temperatures up to 100-120 degrees, linen and cotton - up to 180.
To protect against sticking, against the appearance of shine, especially on pockets, collars and lapels, it is necessary to use a mesh, in one or 2 layers. It will create an extra layer so that the soleplate does not touch the fabric. Before the first use, the mesh must be washed and dried according to the attached instructions. In the future, you can use it dry or moisten with water, at your discretion.
