Care Tips for Garments Made of Qiana

"When pressing or ironing garments made of the fiber Qiana, use a steam iron on a low wool setting. This applies for washable and non-washable garments."

I know what you are thinking.

What is Qiana?

This is a synthetic fabric that was developed in 1962.

This was really intended for high end fashion and became popular when marketed as faux silk clothing items.

From my research it seems that you can't find clothes made from Qiana anymore.

This is because the material was very hard to sew.

I found that one manufacturer had issues with machines or needles breaking because it was hard to penetrate the fabric.

What made the fabric was popular among consumers because it behaved like silk but barely wrinkled.

In the end, to produce clothing made from Qiana was more expensive than using actual silk.

So production eventually ended.

Another reason that the fabric fell out of fashion trends is because it became widely associated with DISCO!

When disco died in the 80's it took it's fashion sense with it.

The fabric wasn't really useful for everyday wear.

You shouldn't wear it in warm climate if you might sweat one drop.

Qiana soaks it up and left unsightly sweat spots.

Gross.

You can find a lot of vintage Qiana clothing online.

The price can vary depending on the condition of the item.

I suggest you take a look.

If you have any in your closet it might be time to sell!

Stuffed Lamb Cushion for Easter "Lamb is a traditional food for Eater. The lamb is a symbol of Jesus. In John 1:29 Jesus is referred to as "The Lamb of God", who takes away the sin of the world." Lamb is also a traditional Passover meal. In the book of Exodus, God was determined to save His people from their captivity in Egypt. The last plague He sent to Egypt was the death of the firstborn. God commanded that His people take an unblemished lamb, kill it, and but the blood of the lamb on their door post. This would be a sign for the Angel of Death to "passover" the house and not strike their firstborn. It would be after their freedom from slavery that God would institute traditional sacrifice for sins that would involve a lamb. Jesus' last supper was the Passover meal. He and His disciples ate lamb before He instituted the new covenant, teaching His disciples to remember Him in communion. Jesus would go on to be betraye

"Is There a Doctor in the House?" "Medical emergencies may occur at ay time, especially with young children. Prepare ahead of time by knowing exactly what you will do if it becomes necessary to get medical assistance quickly." Let's just sum up this blog post. AMERICAN HEALTHCARE SUCKS I hate doctors and their offices and their bills. This broken system we have is why "natural" remedies are becoming popular. We choose something other than a professional to treat us because our insurance won't cover services or the doctor might just misdiagnose us and throw meds at us. I'm sure this isn't everyone's experience. It has been mine for years. I had a good doctor once. If you want good medical services it will cost you. Remember when you could just go to a doctor? Now you have to make an appointment months in advance. If you need same day service, go to Urgent Care. If you are experiencing an
