Fill a bowl/basin with tepid water, then add several denture tablets. Put the affected area of your project in the water with the denture tabs. Let is sit over nite. In the morning chances are your scorched area will be gone. I used this quite a few times in heirloom sewing and it really does work!
Your solution was perfect, very cute and clever!!
Good suggestion, thank you, I will keep it in mind. I have also had good luck with hydrogen peroxide. Just spritz it on the scorch marks and let it dry. Some people think that it will bleach or discolor the fabric but they are totally mistaken. But you can always test if you want to be extra safe.
