I'm making a bridal quilt for my granddaughter and am using the fusible-applique technique. I live in a very rural area so walmart is my only shop for such things. All they had was the Heat-and-Bond lite.
Well...everything was going alright and I was at the bond-it-to-the-background stage, when I discovered that I hadn't put the fusible on the back of one applique.
So I haul out the fusible and cut out the pattern and attach it to the applique (which was rather large). When I picked it up I discovered that I hadn't moved the roll of fusible away from me far enough. I had ironed it to my ironing pad AND to my background piece that I'd been working on. WAAAAAHHHHH!!!
The ironing pad I can live with...but my beautiful background block (20 " square) with all the other appliques on it already has the big piece of plastic-looking stuff stuck on the tail of it.
I'm hoping that some of you have done this before and can tell me how to get it off. I've tried peeling it off...scratching it off with my fingernail...scraping with the edge of the scissors...no go.
HELP!!!
Please don't tell me there is no solution.
20 inches and all that work down the drain...how can I live...just kidding on that part...but you know what I mean. <sign>
