1. What is seam ironing?
Seam ironing is a core step in garment ironing. Its purpose is to smooth and fit the overlapping edges of fabric after splicing through high-temperature ironing. This prevents wrinkling and shape distortion caused by seam accumulation, while also enhancing the garment's refinement and three-dimensional effect.
2. Which garments require seam ironing?
Garments that prioritize shape and contain structural seams must undergo seam ironing, for example:
Suits/Outerwear: including suits, trench coats, coats, and jackets.
Shirts/Formal Tops: men's and women's shirts, stand-up collar shirts, etc.
Pants: trousers, casual pants, and jeans (especially those with a slim fit).
Skirts: skirts (especially A-line skirts and blazers), dresses (with waistbands and side seams).
Knitwear/Thick Fabrics: sweaters, hoodies (with patchwork), corduroy jackets, etc.
Custom/High-End Clothing: custom suits, couture dresses, etc.
3. Ironing Methods
Traditional ironing methods require a vacuum ironing table, an industrial iron, a steam boiler, and multiple devices, all coordinated together. This relies heavily on manual experience, resulting in low efficiency, high energy consumption, and inconsistent quality.
Dressed Santo, a global pioneer in ironing methods, has launched a new type of ironing method. The smart seam ironing machine features an intelligent temperature control system that automatically adjusts the temperature to suit a variety of fabrics. Consuming only 400W, it completely eliminates the need for traditional, energy-intensive ironing tables and industrial irons. Operated from a seat, it's like a regular sewing machine, eliminating the need for long periods of standing work required by traditional manual ironing, reducing worker workload.
