Turn the garment inside out so that the embellishments are facing up. Place the garment on a padding or towel to protect it from direct contact with the steam. Close the door of the steamer and set the temperature to high. Wait until the machine begins to warm up before adding any fabric. Pour water into the bottom of the steamer and place your ironing board or another heavy object on top of the fabric. The heat from the machine will help to press down on the fabric while you apply pressure with your iron.
