Fewer repositioning passes
The long plate covers trouser legs, table linen, yardage and garment panels more quickly than a small iron soleplate.
Singer ESP2 | Steam Ironing Press
Cover more fabric with every press
The ESP2 combines a 63 × 26cm heated surface, over 45kg of closing pressure and adjustable dry or steam operation. It is built for fast, even pressing across garments, linens, curtains and sewing projects.
- Large 63 × 26cm pressing area handles broad sections in one placement.
- Over 45kg pressing pressure applies even force without repeatedly pushing a hand iron.
- Variable fabric temperature plus steam burst adapts to the material and task.
- Automatic shut-off, audible alarm and locking handle support safer use and storage.

Heat, steam and pressure across one broad area
Consistent closing force
Lowering the handle delivers over 45kg of pressure evenly across the selected area.
Dry press or steam burst
Choose dry heat for suitable tasks or use an on-demand burst to help release stubborn creases.
Best for different parts of the job
Let the press handle the large, flat work
The ESP2 is strongest on broad areas that can lie flat: linen, curtains, quilt blocks, garment panels and trouser legs.
A hand iron can still be useful for very tight corners, seams or shapes that are awkward to position beneath the pressing plate.
Broad sections
Use the full 63 × 26cm surface to reduce the number of overlapping placements.
Shaped garment areas
Use the included pressing cushion beneath collars, darts, sleeve caps and other raised areas.
Storage between sessions
Close and lock the handle only after the press is switched off, cool and ready to store.
Five steps from fabric setting to finish
Fill if steaming
Add distilled water to the 300ml reservoir without pulling the reservoir completely from the unit.
Select fabric
Start with the coolest suitable temperature, especially when several fabrics are queued.
Wait for ready
Allow the pressing and steam-ready indicators to show that the selected function is available.
Position flat
Smooth the fabric on the padded board, keeping hands clear of the closing area.
Press 6–8 seconds
Lower gently, hold for the recommended cycle, lift and reposition without dragging the fabric.
Steam-burst technique: the Singer manual instructs you to hold the plate approximately 75mm above the board before pressing the steam button. Do not activate the burst with the press fully closed.
Match heat and steam to the material
| Material situation | Starting approach | Useful accessory | Important check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delicate or synthetic | Begin at the lowest suitable temperature and use short test presses. | Pressing cloth where appropriate. | Care label, hidden-area test and decoration sensitivity. |
| Cotton or linen | Higher heat and steam may help broad, stubborn creases. | Spray bottle for controlled moisture if the fabric permits. | Colourfastness, finish and recommended maximum temperature. |
| Wool or shaped garment area | Use controlled steam without crushing the structure. | Pressing cushion beneath the shaped section. | Lift rather than slide, and avoid flattening texture. |
| Fusible interfacing | Follow the interfacing maker’s exact heat, pressure and time instructions. | Pressing cloth or release sheet as specified. | Test adhesion and prevent adhesive reaching the plate or cover. |
