I received some samples of quilt fabric.
they were mounted on paper. Water and Goo-Off do not work when trying to separate them. Any ideas?????

Are they upholstery samples? Those are stuck on pretty severely and you may have trouble getting the all the way off.

I wonder is a warm iron would work, maybe a damp cloth and dry iron. I do know that vinegar does dissolve sticky stuff.

I have lots of those samples and warm water has always worked.

Throw them in the washer, paper and all. Or soak in hot water for a couple of hours. If it comes off, great...if not, well, just throw the whole mess away!! :-)

Did you try useing a blow dryer? I know that works great for getting sticky lables off of new dishes, plastic wear, ect. when I buy new. I don't know if it will help but on fabric, I would be cautious about using it because of maybe damaging the fabric, but we used to use hair spray to remove glue residue at a store I used to work at when changing label or stickers.

I microwave the individual pages for LESS THAN A MINUTE. Doesn't work on all of them, but it will on most.

Good luck. Never heard of fabric on paper!!
