Lupus is an autoimmune disease. This means that the body's natural defense system (immune system) attacks healthy tissues instead of attacking only things like bacteria and viruses. This causes inflammation. Although some people with lupus have only mild symptoms, the disease is lifelong and can become severe.
Heat Settings for Fabrics. Use these basic iron temperature setting guidelines for your fabrics: acetate, 290 F; acrylic or nylon, 275 F; cotton, 400 F; linen, 445 F; polyester, silk or wool, 300 F; rayon, 375 F; triacetate, 390 F. For blended fabrics, use the lowest temperature recommended for the fibers in the blend.
Apply the interfacing by sandwiching the garment piece and interfacing between two press clothes to keep the ironing board and iron clean. Use a flat surface (particle board covered with several layers of wool and several layers of cotton works well). Set the iron at the lowest temperature for steam, apply a lot of pressure and press for 10 seconds.
