Abstract: A measuring guide device in U.S. standard measurements and/or metric units printed on an iron board cover or any applicable surface, to facilitate the measuring and pressing process, and more particularly, the measuring and pressing of a hem in one quick-and-easy step. Other measure and press processes are also facilitated, for example, the measure-press and cutting process, the measure-press and marking process, the measure-press and blocking process. The measuring surface includes guidelines which are printed thereon for allowing a fabric to be folded along a line and pressed to form a hem of desired size.
