I had my first attempt at flower pressing and I need a little advice. I have a little wooden press, and I assumed I should put the flowers on paper towel under and over, and then the card pieces it came with (under the paper towel and over), and then press as hard as possible for a couple of weeks. I am pleased with the first attempt, but you can clearly see the patterns from the paper towel. To those knowledgeable in all things flower pressing, how can I improve for my next venture. I have Mother's Day flowers waiting for their turn! Many thanks.
