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.
Turn on the iron and set the heat to low. Place the cotton polyester fabric on the ironing board. Position the pressing cloth on top of the fabric to prevent iron marks or shine. If you do not have a pressing cloth, you can substitute a clean cotton handkerchief or a piece of scrap fabric.
