The Totally Tubular Pressing Station is:

-Two wooden boards with two posts, and the boards are interchangeable, with two different sizes.

Eileen demonstrates pressing a small dopp bag, lined and inner lined with fusible fleece
Turn the pressing station from side to side, and end to end to reach all of the corners.

For the  Vintage Clutch, from presses as you sew. F

Fabric covered foam bags benefit from pressing as well

For a onesie,
Dress the larger board -- it fits great.
For fusibles, don't use steam.
Fusibles travels toward the heat, so for a really good fuse, turn inside out, and re-press.

Use the wool mat over the wood board when pressing so as not to smash embroidered details.

To finish embroidery, press the interfacing for a nice, clean finish. Eileen demonstrates on v-neck tee shirt upcycles, too.
