Pressing Or Ironing? (True Or False) - Quiz

Quiz Preview

  • 2. 

    There are 4 general pressing methods.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because there are indeed four general pressing methods. These methods include hand pressing, mechanical pressing, hydraulic pressing, and pneumatic pressing. Each method involves applying pressure to a material or object in order to shape or flatten it. Therefore, the correct answer is true.

    You will not need a pressing cloth when under pressing.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    When under pressing, a pressing cloth is still necessary. A pressing cloth is a thin piece of fabric that is placed between the iron and the garment to protect the fabric from direct heat and prevent any damage or shine marks. It acts as a barrier and helps to distribute the heat evenly. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that a pressing cloth is not needed when under pressing.

    Pressing and ironing are the same because all you're doing is sliding the iron back and forth to remove wrinkles from the fabric.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Pressing and ironing are not the same because although both involve removing wrinkles from fabric, there is a difference in the technique used. Pressing involves applying pressure to the fabric with a hot iron without sliding it back and forth, while ironing involves sliding the iron back and forth over the fabric. Therefore, the statement that pressing and ironing are the same is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    It is best to iron while constructing a garment or sewn item.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Ironing while constructing a garment or sewn item is not the best practice. It is recommended to press the garment or item at different stages of the construction process instead. This helps to ensure that the fabric is properly shaped and seams are flat, resulting in a more professional and polished finish. Ironing during construction can potentially distort the fabric or stretch it out of shape, leading to a poor fit or uneven seams. Therefore, it is best to press the garment or item rather than iron it while constructing.
