Sleeve board

A sleeve board allows pressing of narrow garments sections such as sleeves and trouser leg. The ideal sleeve board must be strong, stable and have sufficient space between the board and the base so that fabric does not crease in working. It is ideal for pressing necklines, shoulder seams and small hard to reach areas like pockets, belts, loops as they can be spread on this board without stretching or wrinkling the rest of the garment.
