This is how I would do it. If I'm not sure how a piece of fabric, interfacing will react to an iron, I always use an ironing cloth like an old piece of muslin or even sheet or pillow case. That way you haven't ruined anything of value.

If it is iron on use the steam setting on your iron..... and just hover it over the interfacing letting the steam relax the crease. If its not iron on you can do the same , or reduce the iron temp lower and iron the interfacing directly. Most interfacings have a large poly content so direct contact with the iron at a high cotton setting will melt the interfacing.
An interesting note.... Pellon makes craft interfacing and garment interfacing... the biggest difference is the craft interfacing has a rayon content and will shrink.
