Many times, to make seam lines disappear, a person can dampen the seam lines
with plain, clear vinegar and press with the temperature necessary for the
fabric. *** Try a small place that can't be seen first to make certain it
works. ***
I have never had a problem doing this over the past 60+ years I've been
sewing. With 3 daughters, I can not even think how many outfits I've
altered and used this to make the seam lines disappear.
