I've used the non-sewable Heat and Bond and then tried to stitch it with my machine. It really gunks up the needle so the only thing you can do is deal with it and keep cleaning your needle every so often (very often). I haven't tried any other way to deal with trying to remove it once you have already bonded it on. I used a zigzag stitch on my banner using it and it seemed like every foot or so, I had to stop and clean the needle. I found that I didn't need to remove the needle on the machine but just take out the the thread and then with another needle, poke the hole of the sewing needle to clear away the gunk. But it was a real pain to do this throughout the whole banner. Now I know better to buy "light" sewable Heat and Bond. Lesson learned.
