It's one of those days. As I was ironing my seams the iron scorched the 100% cotton material and seemed to melt the thread that also says 100% cotton . Aghhhh the iron setting was on cotton . Time to step away and take a break.

Lemon juice in the sun sounds like a plan, but it might fade the purple. I can't find the mark, either. It's a totally cute quilt. Sure hope you can remedy the scorch...or add tails or maybe a mouse? Something humorous always adds interest.

Hi newbie to forum here, you can remove scorch marks by soaking in a solutionof borax crystals and water, it dies work as I have used this before, I had a large scorch mark on a pair of my husbands very light coloured trousers andit removed it completely, lovely quilt I like the colours.

When I was young ( many years ago ) my Mom did something with a piece of bread that removed scorched spots. I had forgotten all about it until I read this post. Maybe some older person ( like me ) with a good memory will read this post and tell us what it was. And no, I haven't been tipping the bottle. LOL

A very very old fashioned idea, brown paper. Does ironing with brown paper over the area do it. It was from my grandma I'm 60 so it would have come from sewing relatives in the 1800. The modern idea from me is kitchen paper.
I would have a go .
