Iron Burn on fabric, found a great fix
 
While this was a reply to a post I did a few days ago, I wanted to share this with the whole group. I was an idiot and burned some Kona cotton in multiple places. It had appliques on it so I couldn't just throw it out. I found a fix using hydrogen peroxide and it worked amazingly well. http://www.howtocleanstuff.net/how-t...from-clothing/ I washed the quilt afterwards using some color catchers. I can machine quilt with thread matching the background fabric instead of the variegated
thread I thought I would have to use.http://www.quiltingboard.com/attachm...58-photo-1.jpghttp://www.quiltingboard.com/attachm...76-photo-2.jpg

This is very useful. I am glad your work was saved. It would have been just awful to have lost it due to the scorch mark. I love this site you posted. Thanks.

Thanks for the tip. I'm going to try it on a jersey knit gown. I'm still sewing it and was sad that I burned it. Actually, it may be fusible interfacing burned on it but hopefully this will help.

Thanks for the tip. Scorching fabric is something I've done before and will surely do again!

I think that is great.
