good luck.
I have removed the wrongly placed adhesive quite successfully by just iron a scrap over it & lift. Use a new scrap & press again. Just keep using a new piece each time so you don't spread the adhesive. Mine has always come off, however I do use Heat'n Bond Lite.

There was a very informative thread about this a couple of months ago. If I can find it, I will post it. The upshot was that the fusible can be removed by using the non-printed portions of paper bags. Place paper bag over fusible and iron. Do this repeatedly, using a new portion of paper bag each time, and all of it should come off.

I agree. I would try this technique first. Heating it up may just get the bond off the quilt. I wish you GOOD LUCK TOO !!!

Could you applique a heart over the sticky part?

How about putting the name on a strip of fabric, then iron on/applique that over the goofed spot? Or shadow the letters to cover the boo boo?

Acetone is found in nail polish remover. then spot clean.

Gotta make sure it's not the non-acetone polish remover, though. :)

I have never heard of this, must try and find it and keep some on hand sounds like a great product. What dept in WalMart did you find it? Is it a liquid or what?

I never use Heat & Bond. It's not meant for quilting, but for crafts...will gum up the needle something fierce. I always use Wonder Under.

I've done this before - it was time consuming but it worked. It's worth a try! Good luck!!
