Lay over damaged spot and steam with warm iron.

Don't think an animal or different would work. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Iron Mark on Clothing Post By Susie-California (Guest Post) (10/10/2007) I scorched my favorite black polyester pants. I tried vinegar, but didn't work. I love the idea of the applique. I see all the hip levi's that are done today. I have a sequin machine and have decided I will have a really hip pair of black pants. Thanks for the great idea Report Spam or Abuse Sequin marks on wedding dress Post By Justine (Guest Post) (03/22/2007) Hi, I just removed a load of sequins from the front of my ivory wedding dress (I think it's polyester) and now there are marks where they used to be. Does anyone know how I can get these out? Thanks!

If melted really badly try thinking of adding something over the bad spot that would make it useful regardless, such as: All black velveteen/ribbon/sequin or other texture such as satin or lace? applique to both skirt and a "matching" black blouse onto which you've duplicated and added the same but smaller applique ? Free formed designs or offset geometrics should at least save the skirt, rather than tossing. You should be able to find "fabric glue" at a fabric shop to help set the applique, then use narrow AND wide ribbon over the seams of whatever pattern you have chosen? If the black skirt fabric is Polyester Chiffon, the glue should be sufficient, but if thicker fabric than that, better glue it well and make sure the glue will dry clean and/or wash, which it usually does! The ribbon can usually also be glued down. Use a medium thin coating of glue, as per bottle instructions, and when completely dry, cover with waxed paper and weight the whole design down with the very iron that made the print! A totally different idea is to find small animal print fabric or ribbon and trim with a contrasting ribbon/string/fabric/natural beads.\, adding the matching applique AND perhaps beads to the neckline and/or sleeve edges? Don't fret too much because we have almost ALL done this at one time or another. Such is life and learning. God bless you with your decision. : ) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Iron Mark on Clothing Post by Eileen Celeste (36) | (11/08/2006) Profile | Contact Sorry, but you've probably melted the polyester and won't get the mark out. You can't use a hot iron on polyester; it melts it and the fabric gets shiny or scorched. I know, I tried to press my honeymoon negligee years ago and it stuck to the iron!

I tried and I didn't know if there was a way. Thanks, Kim from Alabama Answers: RE: Iron Mark on Clothing This worked for my daughter. She was ironing a transfer on to a white T-shirt and scorched the fabric. She put some lemon juice on it and laid it on the window sill in the sunlight. It gradually lightened then disappeared. I'm not sure how it would affect a colored fabric though. the T-shirt was white. (12/10/2004) By jeangnome46 RE: Iron Mark on Clothing Try peroxide. Sponge it on using a cotton ball. Test first inside hem or on a seam. (12/11/2004) By Bettie RE: Iron Mark on Clothing Use a 50-50 solution of white vinegar and water. Soak a cloth in it, place over the iron mark and press. We used this tip in my custom clothing business. Also a great way to set creases in a garment. (08/14/2005) Report Spam or Abuse
