I do the same. I never put water in the iron.

Steam and starch.

I have a dry iron I bought years ago from a place called Vermont Country Store.

Very hot iron with steam; sometimes spray as well.

To me, it's not the steam that distorts, but the presser.

I use steam and Best Press. I love Best Press, but it makes me cough. I have tried several "flavors" and they all make me cough. I tape a kleenex over my nose and mouth, it helps. I hate to stop using it, but I think I should.

I usually fingerpress first then PRESS (not iron) the seam.
