This is not about the adhesive. But I am intrigued by the machines that Cindy has (Post #19). I have almost the identical machines. My treadle is not a Singer, but I bought a 1951 Singer Centennial Featherweight last week, I have a 1956 Singer 401A, and my Bernina is newer, a 2006 440.

If you cannot remove the gooey stuff, I suggest putting the letters on a light background , put letters on this then hem with decorative stitches to make it look like a picture frame and sew on to quilt to hide spot.

These are all great ideas I will remember for when I get into trouble, replacing the piece is the best idea, except if you have already sandwiched the quilt and have quilted much of the quilt that would be awful. I wonder if you could carefully snip out the piece and hand sew the piece back in hiding the stitches as much as possible, would that work?

I am making my dad a father's day quilt and decided to put his name on it using heat & bond; well I totally forgot about the mirror image with letters before applying them to the quilt; after I noticed the letter and the number was backwards I removed it from the quilt, but the adhesive is stuck on the quitl! What a mess, does anyone have any ideas on how I can remove the adhesive from the quilt! I re-traced the letter N and the #1 the correct way, but the adhesive is still visible! Thank goodness it is only two characters.
