Garfield Jun 2020 1:06pm, 8 Jun 2020 12,991 posts	Quote Pin Garfield Yes, I had to iron when I was trying to make the face masks! It's so much easier to get a better finish when it's really flat...
sallykate Jun 2020 1:12pm, 8 Jun 2020 6,532 posts	Quote Pin sallykate I only use my iron for sewing at the moment! Yesterday I finished the first lot of face masks for local friends. 33 done. Just the small matter of another 45 now. Most of them are cut and partially stitched but the final bits seems to take ages.

Lizzie W Jun 2020 7:57am, 9 Jun 2020 23,224 posts	Quote Pin Lizzie W Pretty, Pix. I finished sewing my first mask (Purps' link). Probably took about 8 hours 😱! I used an old school shirt - lovely smooth dense fabric - and an old T-shirt for interlining & yarn tie. Question: what's the best way to poke the seams out to press, once it's turned right way out - should I press the seam allowance before stitching to give a crease?
