Definitely need to know if you should be ironing it on a lower setting so as not to damage the fabric if it's not cotton.

Normally, I'd recommend pairing it with an orange, but I tried that & it was not enough contrast with the yellow HST's. What about just going with a solid dark brown?
One can tell from a bit as small as 1/8 x 1 inch.
