I have some shirts with a hidden button down collar (the collar buttons down, but the button holes are on the underside of the collar, so aren't visible from the outside). When I iron the collar, I get some creasing on the outside/topside of the collar around where the stitching for the underside of the collar is. I was wondering if you'll have any tips/tricks to prevent these creases when ironing the collar.

Spritz a little bit of water onto the crease. Use a couple of fingertips to stretch and smooth out the fabric where the crease is. Iron the crease, but don’t use as much pressure as you ordinarily do. Use just enough pressure to make the crease either disappear completely or become barely noticeable. You might need to keep your fingertips on the edge of the collar so that the fabric will remain stretched as you iron. In that case, you’ll have to be very careful not to burn your fingertips with the iron.

What hesaid....but I'll typically not iron the front fabric of the point.

Try Downey Wrinkle Free spray or just starch without ironing.
