Ordinary whisky is no good in situations like that, but Scottish Single Malt will definitely help.

May I humbly suggest that you stick a piece of tartan material over the mark.

Apologies. Couldn't resist. It's been a difficult day in school........ off to get myself just a very small single malt before heading for bed.

Glad you are still smiling and thank you for the update.

Hi,
well people, I have mixed results to report. I replicated the mistake on another piece of the same material with a fairly large clump of fusible thread. After 1/2 hour I did as instructed. The fusible thread softened and then started to harden again. As it did so I was able to peel it off the material. Which then appeared perfect.

Heartened I tried the same thing on my quilt block. The fusible came off but left a greasy looking mark. I tried ironing it with kitchen roll (paper towels) - all evening - without success. So I though ***** and soaked the flaming thing over night. It looked exactly the same. I tried applying some gentle soap to the spots and rubbing vigourously. It looked perfect - until it dried. So my partner soaked it in stain remover for an hour and then he washed it in the machine. Nothing moved. So I might embroider over it or just learn to love it.

Thanks for the help. I'm still smiling. Now where is the whisky?

If you try this, please let us know how it works for you! Good luck!

As I recall, there is another topic about removing fusible web. I typed in removing fusible in the search area.
So look at that.

On there, I posted to cover the area with aluminum foil and heat with the iron and the fusible adheres to the foil. You might have to heat the thread (covered by foil) and then pull the fibers off and repeat the process to get rid of the remaining fusible. BUT first try a sample to make sure that the process will work with your specifics. Good luck!

I've had a stupid day and among my many mistakes I've managed to get fusible thread stuck to the front of my quilt block. I've tried using Goo Gone on a Q tip on it but that hasn't worked. Any suggestions please?
