so sorry I have used heat and bond a lot and have never known of it to wash out hope some of those other methods work but might be easier and cleaner to just start over they are right experiment with a scrap of the same fabric if possible if sizing or starch was in the fabric may be easier to remove but if was prewashed will be much more difficult

What about trying the product used to take the gunk of the iron?

some place I read about using a dryer sheet and it will remove heat and bond, Something about the softners work against the heat and bond. I know if you get it on your iron, it removes it from there too. Good luck and I hope it works what ever you try.

Glad to know you saved your block. I'll try to remember all these suggestions as I'm sure this will happen to me.

I have removed the sticky mess from my ironing board cover the dryer sheets.... Lay the dryer sheet over the appliqued area and press... it comes off on sheet. I hope that works for you. Quilter1234

I think you should call the manufacturer. You did not say which Heat n Bond you were using. I have used Heat n Bond on towel appliques and T-shirts and it does not wash away. Please, please call the manufacturer.

What worked...The first suggestion that all of you gave that I tried worked, so I don't know... the other suggenstions may as well. But, thankfully, I didn't have to try more than one.

I put it on my ironing pad and turned my iron up to scorching hot w/steam, held it above the place and shot it with steam several times. I quickly put a piece of cloth over it and ironed the dog out of it (southern for 'a lot') and some came off. I did this 3 times and...voila...all gone. Not a single trace and smooth as a baby's bottom.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping to save my block. Here is a big 'ol hug to all of you <group hugs>...I just love this board.

Again...thanks!
Wow! I was holding my breath as I read through this! I'm so glad it worked for you, and in the process I learned something, too. Thanks to all who shared their ideas and experiences.
