FAQs

What is the best fabric to use this tool on?

The Milward Wood Point Presser & Clapper can be used on a variety of fabrics. Always test on a scrap piece of fabric first to ensure it is suitable.

How long should I press with the clapper?

Press with the clapper for about 10-15 seconds, or until the steam has been absorbed and the fabric is set.

Can I use this with a dry iron?

Yes, it can be used with a dry iron. However, for best results, use with steam.

How do I clean the tools?

Wipe the tools with a dry cloth after each use. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals.

What is the point presser used for?

The point presser is used for pressing awkward seams such as collars, points and narrow, hard to get to corners.

How do I create a perfect point?

Place the corner to be pressed open and flat with the point inside and use a steam iron to open the seam. Turn the corner around and repeat the process to create a perfect point.

Troubleshooting

Creases not sharp enough.

Increase steam and pressure when using the clapper. Ensure the fabric is properly dampened before pressing.

Difficulty reaching tight corners.

Use the pointed end of the presser to access and shape these areas. Apply steam and gentle pressure.

The wood is getting stained.

Use a pressing cloth between the iron and the wood. Allow the wood to dry completely before storing.
