OH-OH Glue problem I need help please
#1
Well I was dying to try fused applique. I watched different video tutorials but still did a HUGE mess.
I mixed up some of the instructions and I fused my fabric to my ironing table!!! The iron also has some glue on it.
I was able to pull the fabric off but the glue stayed on there.
Is there a way to clean this mess or am I stuck with a sticky ironing board forever?

when I do things like that, I just replace the cover. Walmart is open 24-7 and easier and more cost saving then ruining other things I iron (which I have also done) by transferring the sticky to them. Sorry I don't have a better answer.

That can only mean that you will be very successful at applique. We have all done that. A magic eraser will clean your iron and a new cover will help a lot, like nothing happened. If you don't replace it dust will stick to it and it will burn a little every time you iron until it becomes a mess.

I use waxed paper to get the glue off my iron. Just take a piece and iron it a few times. You can use parchment paper for ironing sheets. I use a piece that is large enough to fold in half and then I place my applique inside before ironing it. That saves the iron and the ironing board cover. The paper can be used a few times before throwing it away. I now keep my box of parchment paper in my sewing room instead of in the pantry. :)

Faultless Hot Iron Cleaner is wonderful for the iron...I've purchased it at the grocery store, WalMart, etc. Comes in a tube. Can be found in the laundry isle.... I second the suggestion to purchase the special mat to cover the ironing board.
