Hand Iron

Only those interlinings, which can be fused at relatively, low temperatures, low pressures and in relatively short times are suitable for hand iron. Only small parts can be fused. When iron is used just position on interlining part or tape temporarily then followed by steam press. This is common in men’s wear where additional reinforcing is required e.g. fusible tapes are added during construction of jacket, in positions such as pockets, vents and hems.
