Be careful w/ iron on stuff - Quilt of Valor
I met a retired Marine the other day. He has been friends w/ my neighbor across the street. We got talking and he showed me his Quilt of Valor that was given to him while in a VA facility. He is beyond proud of it!!!
The back of the quilt has 2 signature saying pieces that the women ironed on. He is truly appreciative of this quilt and carries it in his truck.
Instead of sewing these 2 blocks on, they ironed them on. It is now several years later and the patches are coming off - I'm going to sew them back on by hand.
This is my qusestion: These white blocks also have some staining to them due to the iron on adhesive that was used. Does anyone know if that staining will come off using oxyclean, 20 mule-team, etc??
He mentioned the staining last nite and my first response was I'm sorry, probably not since it is a chemical reaction to being washed and the iron on stuff.
Thought i'd check here. I don't ever use iron-on stuff, so why i'm asking.
Thanks!!
