From an online review:..." The author helps the quilter create a professional looking quilt through pressing. There is a difference between pressing and ironing and Myrna shows how these applications differ. This book is full of pressing and quilting tips that will help even the nOvice quilter. Learn about your iron, how to clean it, how to press yardage and how to press as you go.
Giesbrecht's introduction takes us from a description of seams and seam allowances to differentiating pressing from ironing -- an important distinction. She moves on to dispel six pressing fallacies that have plagued the quilting world ever since I can remember. Her reassuring refutations of dogma help lay the foundations for planned pressing.
Press for Success is full of great descriptions, tips, easy-to-follow instructions, and helpful schematics. Giesbrecht's upbeat tone and presentation are sure to inspire confidence in even the most timid beginner.
Topics include: Pressing equipment, iron care, pressing as you go, prewashing/storing, pressing yardage, pressing seams, what to do w/ seam allowances, speed piecing and pressing, pressing plans (and this is one of the most useful parts of the book!), finger pinning, etc. If you are serious about quilting and lets face it, time and money are important, make the most of your energy and create professional results.
