    A hint I found out is to not roll it up to store it. Just keep it folded loosely like it come on the bolt. Rolling it into a tube makes it seperate.

    All Wonder Under is not created equally. Ask me how I know. If you get a bad batch it will make you nuts. My tips for getting good Wonder Under. I buy it at either JoAnn's or Walmart. I put a little mark on the cardboard end of a fairly full bolt. I buy a half yard. Take it home and use it immediately. If it peels good, I go back and find the bolt with my mark on it and buy all of it. I once bought a bolt and it was horrible. The paper would not peel off. Did you ever have hard boiled eggs that you were trying to peel for devil eggs and the shell just chipped a little piece at a time? That's what bad Wonder Under will do. If it's good, it will peel off wonderfully.

    I'm in agreement with Pam B, I think you have to let it set-up. Give it at least an hour, more if you can. Don't try to peel it when hot, at least that is my experience.

    I'm sorry, I was unclear...I always put my fabric right side down on the ironing board and press directly on the paper side of the wonder under (having the adhesive side touching the wrong side of the fabric.
