Velvets
Velvet should be ironed in one direction only, and with a light pressure. Always
keep the iron moving. To help raise the nap, finish by holding the steam iron
above the fabric and allow the steam to penetrate without applying pressure.
Finally, shake or brush the fabric gently.
Polyester
Polyester has a very low melting point, always use a low temperature and press
gently through a cotton cloth. If you iron fabrics made of a blend of fibres, set the
temperature dial for the most delicate fibre. Never use the burst of steam on
silks or synthetics.
Lined Garments
Remember that a garment lining may require a different temperature to the
exterior fabric. Always start with a very low temperature and keep the iron
moving. Test in an inconspicuous area first if possible.
