Try sewing with a jean needle....you will still probably have to clean the needle often, but the jean needle may prove a little easier to sew with....

Would you be able to put it in really hot wash? I think I read that it is washable at 40 degrees, so if it is hotter maybe it will peel off.

AWESOME NEWS - went to my local Joann store and they have Duck brand Adhesive Remover it is working so now have several shirts that I have to use this stuff on - you just blot it on let it sit 20-30 secs and then scrape it off - scraper is on top of the bottle. The bad news is that my 50% off coupon expired yesterday... off to scraping...

You now have a hanging wall quilt for your son's room so go ahead and start a new quilt You might be able to hand wash and then dry it flat so you can finish sewing it to hang on the wall. If we can sew leather on our machines we can certainly sew thru that. Roz

Have you tried ironing or blowdrying with a with a hot blowdryer & pulling it up as you go? Sometimes that has worked for me. star619

I did this too!! It was my GD's T shirst from 1st -12th grade! It was like a rug more than a quilt! Bless her heart, she took it off to college anyway and actually used it and was proud of it! I was mortified.

I do Tshirt quilts all the time and only use a cotton woven iron on. No problems sewing through it and it comes in white and black.

If you have used the wrong Heat/Bond weight or put it on the wrong side of the fabric, here is a cheap and easy way to remove
If you have one of the Teflon applique sheets (Joannns has them) simply peel the paper off of the bonding source which is now stuck to the fabric-lay the Teflon applique sheet on top and hold your hot iron on it -checking to see when it losens. Continue till it all sticks to the sheet. Then you can scrape the HeatnBond off of the Teflon applique sheet
I have been reading posts for a while but never written to the group-I hope that I am doing this right
