Occasionally, I have had the same problem with wonder-under. I usually just try another corner or different place on the piece if it is stubborn. Do let it cool. And thanks for the idea to slide a straight pin under it to loosen it. Great idea.

Also, re-ironing it can help it release. You can try to roll a corner/point between your thumb & forefinger to see if it will begin to release. This only seems to happen to me when the Wonder Under is new. With the older stuff (really old) the paper didn't want to stay stuck to the webbing long enough to get it ironed to the fabric. However, when finally ironed down, it did release nicely. Go figure.

I had to switch to a generic brand that I bought at Hobby Lobby.... I used the product the very same way... I did let it cool a little longer... but not an hour... it peeled fine.... maybe my wonder-under is old. I did email Pellon, so we'll see what they say. Quilter 1234
