ABSTRACT
A few cautions should be noted regarding microfibres. As they are very fine or of small diameter, heat penetrates the fibres more quickly than thicker fibres. As a result, glazing, melting or scorching can occur quickly. This is a particular concern with heat-sensitive fibres such as polyester or nylon. It is preferable to use a cool iron, if pressing is necessary, and the iron should not be left on the fabric for too long. It is also advisable not to apply too much pressure, which can create shine and ridges on the surface.
