I just finished a baby quilt with Minkee fabric. I accidentally had the iron too hot, and some of the "bumps " ironed out. I am sick about this!!!! It looked so beautiful before I ironed it!!! Is there ANY way I can get the bumps back??? Please tell me there is !!! Thank You Grammy Carol

my first thought would be try spritzing with a water bottle.. maybe the water will make them pop back up....

i don't have an answer to the Minkee, and my heart goes out to you. If you don't find a solution, could you create an applique for the area?

try washing it in cold water- fluff dryer===might work-
i had some dots flatten one time- that worked...i didn't iron it though...wondering...why did you? polyester does not wrinkle- why iron it?
anyway- if it doesn't work maybe you could make a little applique and put over the area to hide it.
good luck

I tried everything!! I just took out all the stitching on 2 sides of the border. Have to go buy some more fabric to do the 2 sides over! What a hard lesson to learn!!!!! One I will NEVER forget!!! Thanks !
