I do not know. It didn't really even need an iron. You would have thought I'd have least turned it inside out first or put a cloth over it, but no I just steamed ahead (excuse the pun) and made two extremely noticable iron marks right on the front of it. Basically, even though I had a cool iron, I melted the yarn. What an idiot. I won't do that again, never ever! I recently ruined a 1940s reproduction sweater by attempting to iron it…why?

Lol...Paper and photos are SO easy to ruin that way! Not a big deal if it's a digital image, you can just reprint. But I totally destroyed a beautiful set of papers that was no longer being printed. Ugh. I tried to save a few pieces that weren't totally destroyed, I cut out some squares and small bits here and there...paper punched a few designs and was able to use them as embellishments, but I had to go out and find something else that perfectly matched my photos...like the ruined ones did.

I hate when that kind of thing happens--and believe me, it has for me, too. My mishaps tend to be after the fabric is cut, tho, since I don't trust myself with anything beyond cotton or wool.

I have ruined quite a few items in my life time, but the worst was not me but my nephew who somehow managed to spill a bottle of bleach into a basket of my sweaters and cardigans. Almost all of them were ruined. I am still trying to replace my sweater wardrobe. Hopefully you will be able to use the fabric for something else and will find more of the same to purchase to make your sweet dress. *fingers crossed* Oh, I really am sorry about the fabric!
