Use a white piece of fabric dipped in hydrogen peroxide. Then dab at the scorch mark. Keep dabbing till it's all gone. Works every time. Don't ask me how I know this........

I've heard of both the white vinigar and borax, although, fortunately haven't had to try either. Appliquing a little mouse was my initial thought!

If tails don't appeal could appliqué a bow or make one from giant Rick rack with some of the bow loops partially sewn down to give Kitty something to play with-do the same on the kitty of the same fabric on the top row and it becomes a design element.

Many, many years ago when clothes had to be ironed, I would occasionally scorch something. I would immediately wash it and usually it came out. The secret is tomdomit immediately and not let the scorch set.
|
How about adding an applique in the shape of a mouse?
|
I don't see the mark either, but I do really like the idea of putting tails on to make it look purposeful. Sometimes these disappointments turn out to be happy accidents!
|
And now that you know your iron scorches, and you aren't sure with methods might remove a scorch, I'd say take some ugly light colored fabric and scorch it ,then test the suggestions. Sounds like a win-win-win to me. Happy cst quilt, ugly fabric used for a good cause, and something learned to tuck into your hat tricks of fixes.

Appliqué, appliqué, appliqué! :o

Depends on how bad the scorch mark is. To a certain extent, the fabric is damaged - sort of like a sunburn on a human. |
