I am making a fusible wall hanging and had to take a piece off but there is still glue on the background fabric. Is there any way to get it off without ruining the background. I tried heating it and laying another piece of fabric over it and ironing thinking the heat would transfer the glue to the scrap. didn't work. I don't want to put anything on the fabric if there is a chance it could be harmed. Just figured I would ask . I know I cannot be the only person this has happened to.
Thanks

Ok I tried the paper thing and it stuck a little. I got as much as I could off, scraped with little knife, and put the other piece back on. LOL I also covered up the part of the fusible still showing with a Fabricmate pen. Can't see it at all. :-)
Thanks all.

IF it has not gone deeply into the fabric, have you tried just moistening it to see if it will dissolve a little?
This is just glue, and may soften up enough to lightly scape it off. I have had it melt into the fibers before and I don't remember if it washed out or not...
