That is an absolutely gorgeous design. Hope you can get the the interfacing off.

Does the product have a 800 number on the package? I've called companies before and gotten good advice.

The product I know as vilene does not dissolve.

So much work. It's a beautiful pattern. That's a warning to us all; double check first. I have so many different interfacings and stabilizers I think it's time to put them in a zip lock bag individually and label them.

So sorry whernandez. We have ALL been in this situation before. But just look at it this way, you have learned a lot from it for your future projects and you have became a little closer to the people on the board. We love sharing, whether it be in successes, events, funny stories, happy endings, and even failures. We feel your pain. We cry with you. We get over it and go on. You can do it too. We all wish you luck.
Tomorrow will be a better day.

Yes she did. I used to work in an embroidery shop at a thread clipper and remover of all other items not wanted. It does take a while, a good set of reading glasses, but eventually you will win the battle. I'm very sorry this happened to you; I wish I could offer up more helpful tips.

Well, just think by Christmas you'll probably have it all trimmed. I have done some of those things too and was just sick. I teach a little girls sewing class and just the other day we were making potholders with thermal batting. The little girl gave it to me and I whacked off a big chunk of material and lo, and behold I whacked off the batting at the same time. I had to go back and put a seam where it shouldn't have been.

It will work out fine but I can feel your pain.

I'm sorry this happened...but, I have to jump in and add that it is just a beautiful design...Maybe if you make another one for your mom, after you give it to her, you can show her the pillow or whatever you make from this one and tell her the story...be able to laugh about it eventually...I know that is how I have handled some things...my quilt group gals were astonished that I would tell them of some of my big quilt snafus...and could laugh about it! Now they also "tell" on themselves...
