Have you tried "Sew Easy". Amazon sells it and it removes all types of gunk

So very glad you found a solution! Nothing worse than that "oh no!" moment on a project not solely your own. Especially at the holidays, somehow!

Congrats and good luck!

Glad you god it off!

Another reason why I hesitate to work on someone else's project.

It's bad enough when I muck up mine - but I feel terrible when I muck up someone else's thing.

We were at a class and someone fused their their stabilizer to the wrong (right) side of their fabric. I rescued that piece from the trash, took it home and ironed it onto some waste fabric. Did that a few times, and the stick 'um seems to be all gone. The surface of the fabric seems a little shiny but I can iron right on it and nothing sticks.

Try using brown paper bag cut along one edge or plain white paper, put on area where softfuse was applied and set hot iron on paper. Leave on for 1-2 minutes then remove, keep doing this until most of the softfuse is removed. I know this works because I have done the same thing.

I am so happy for you that you're past the panic and found a solution. Or at least got off the goo and are able to complete the project. I don't know if your fabric would hold up under chemicals, but most quilt shop quality fabric can take a lot of abuse. Anyway, for future reference: Nail polish remover with acetone will dissolve glue. I use cigarette lighter fluid to remove label residue from many items. Have used it to remove gum from cloth. I have also heard that peanut butter (just a dab) can be very effective in removing sticky stuff from almost anything. So glad you were successful in your efforts.
