Have you tried "Sew Easy". Amazon sells it and it removes all types of gunk

So very glad you found a solution! Nothing worse than that "oh no!" moment on a project not solely your own. Especially at the holidays, somehow!
Congrats and good luck! |
Glad you god it off!
Another reason why I hesitate to work on someone else's project. It's bad enough when I muck up mine - but I feel terrible when I muck up someone else's thing. |

Glad you got it off. What a "Oh No!" moment.

I was about to cry along with you! I am so glad you found a way to fix it & thank you for posting your info from the company

Sooo glad you found a solution!

Try using brown paper bag cut along one edge or plain white paper, put on area where softfuse was applied and set hot iron on paper. Leave on for 1-2 minutes then remove, keep doing this until most of the softfuse is removed. I know this works because I have done the same thing.

Thank you..im sure i will use this advice one day..us quilters..never quit..

I am so happy for you that you're past the panic and found a solution. Or at least got off the goo and are able to complete the project. I don't know if your fabric would hold up under chemicals, but most quilt shop quality fabric can take a lot of abuse. Anyway, for future reference: Nail polish remover with acetone will dissolve glue. I use cigarette lighter fluid to remove label residue from many items. Have used it to remove gum from cloth. I have also heard that peanut butter (just a dab) can be very effective in removing sticky stuff from almost anything. So glad you were successful in your efforts.
