<p>What a great idea! Gimme that espresso monster my husband use, I need to start my experiments.<br/>But, I guess, regular machines are not that powerful... or would it be enough? Probably need to try on the least loved ones first.</p>

<p>The kettle- preferably one for the hob that doesn't switch itself off once it reaches boiling point. Also, another cost effective way is using a wallpaper stripper and cutting the hose down to a manageable size. Both work fantastically well and are widely used throughout the profession. Hope that helps.</p>

I bought a stove top kettle from K-Mart for around $12. The amount of steam it produces is just as good as a Jiffy branded one. Love using it!

<p>My husband restores commercial coffee machines. Finally the monster 'Mother Ship', in the kitchen has become more than just a caffeine sanity saver. I use the steam wand on the coffee machine, because of the size and pressure it builds, the steam is pretty powerful. Even better, the cup warmer on the top now acts as a great way to get things dry.</p>

<p>You can use a "milliners shot of steam", take a deep breath, and cover the area to be steamed with your lips, and exhale, getting the material warm and damp with moist warm air. this can be helpful with small areas like flowers, or areas of a hat body that you would like to manipulate (block) with your fingers. This can also be helpful with feathers, and with reblocking portions of a finished hat.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: 13px;"> When stitching heavy seams you may exhale a warm breath into the joint of the seam and bite the thickest part where the fabric is piled up to minimize the bulk of the seam joint when a hammer is not available.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px;">Wetter steam is generally more effective than dry steam, for millinery purposes. Spraying a straw with water before steaming with an iron will wilt the material more effectively than steam alone, Felt will act similarly. </span></p>
