Hints and Tips 14- Pressing Your Embroidery

We all know about not pressing our machine embroidery stitching on the front  but to place our project face down on a towel or similar and press from the back.

 

I do press my embroidery on the front if I need to but I use some silicone baking paper (called Glad Bake here in Australia) over the top of the embroidery. That way the embroidery is still pressed with the heat but it does not go shiny and threads do not melt under the heat from the iron.
