UGH I learned that same lesson. If I may suggest, you may want to get a presser sheet for this reason. My presser sheet is made out of pliable plastic. I put it on top of my applique/wonder under stuff and then iron on top of the presser sheet.
Not much help after the accident but maybe for future?
I also can offer two other suggestions for cleaning the iron:

Sorry hit enter too fast... 2 suggests are:
1 - iron cleaner - I buy mine at JoAnns it comes in a white and blue "toothpaste" tube. You heat up the iron, dab this on a terrycloth towel and then iron the towel.
2 - a dryer sheet - one of my friends used this she just ironed the hot iron on it. She laid it on the "edge" of the ironing board and rubbed HARD.
Hope this helps.

I was putting the binding on a quilt last night, S. Schamber's method, with Elmer's glue in a Roxanne's glue container.
Left the glue bottle a little too close to the iron.
Went to pick it up, and as the iron had melted half the bottle, the glue went ALL.OVER.THE.PLACE.
So I share your pain. :roll:
