The best pressing equipment and interfacing
Pressing is what separates a garment that looks made from one that looks sewn. Press, do not iron: ironing slides and stretches every bias edge it crosses.

Questions people actually ask
How do I choose interfacing weight?
Match it to the behaviour you want in the finished piece, not to the fabric weight. A collar should be crisper than the shirt. Always fuse a test piece on a scrap first.
Why does my interfacing bubble after washing?
Either the fabric shrank and the interfacing did not, or the fuse was never properly set. Pre-wash, then press with firm pressure and steam for the full stated time.
