Knitted Lingerie By laundering carefully and ironing the fabric of your knitted lingerie intelligently, you can preserve its good looks and add to its life. Always iron on the wrong side, using a well padded ironing board. Follow the grain of the material as you let your iron sweep over the garment. Never pull or stretch the fabric. Lace and embroidery should be pressed on the wrong side, and this is best done over a soft towel or a pad. When you iron an unfamiliar fabric for the first time, beware of the temperature of your iron. Start with a warm iron, and if the wrinkles don't come out easily, eas-ily, gradually increase the heat until the iron glides smoothly over the garment, pressing out the wrinkles readily. For rayon crepe and satin, use a moderately hot iron. The fabric fab-ric should be almost dry when ironed. Soft, spun rayons take a hot iron, but the fabric should be bone dry.
