I have been having a horrible, horrible time with two different cuts of Wonder Under--apparently the folks at Pellon still haven't figured it out all these years later! Anyhow, this parchment tip has completely saved the day.

I rubbed the hot iron over an old towel until most of the glue came off ,then I scrubbed it with my ceramic stove top cleaner with the scrubbing pad . The iron was completely clean and I ironed over waxed paper several times. This might work for the glue problem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9567735.post-5372318650818095202009-07-30T10:08:43.069-04:002009-07-30T10:08:43.069-04:00I just wanted to say "THANK YOU!" for bl...I just wanted to say "THANK YOU!" for blogging about this! I just bought 1/2 a yard of Wonder Under and it was horrible. I'd never had problems before, but this was terrible. It would NOT come off the paper after being ironed to the fabric and was shredding my fabric! I read about using parchment paper here and peeled the glue off the Wonder Under and used the parchment instead - it's a miracle!!! It was so smooth and peeled RIGHT off the paper and the glue stuck to the fabric so easily. You saved me a LOT of annoyance. Thanks again :) OH - side note: does anyone know how to get the glue off of an iron and ironing board? That's another whole issue ;)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12792178805393838471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9567735.post-24156528468943228792009-02-18T12:02:00.000-05:002009-02-18T12:02:00.000-05:00I accidentally got wonder under on my brand spanki...I accidentally got wonder under on my brand spanking new (and expensive) ironing board cover.

Don't even think about new bonding where your iron will touch the previously done bond with Heat and Bond. That will undo your previous work.<BR/><BR/>I'm a fan of Steam-a-seam.

I could not get the paper off. I sell my crafts at fairs and can't afford to have things fall off. I wrote to Pellon and they sent me a new bolt. They said the fault was not in the glue but in the paper. Now, if some of you can enlighten me, how do you use the parchment paper or freezer paper. Also, how does Heat and Bond compare to Wonder Under. I used to use it but had problems with edges not fusing.<BR/>Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9567735.post-86480819341385172772007-03-14T12:13:00.000-04:002007-03-14T12:13:00.000-04:00I just used Wonder Under for the first time last w...I just used Wonder Under for the first time last week, and I found it to be messy and rather inconvenient. Bits and pieces of it stuck to my ironing surface and my brand new iron. I don't know if I got the "bad" stuff or if that's just the way WU works. Frankly, it was a pain in the tush.

I bought some awhile ago, deep regrets. It's awful. Trust me, this is not the first time I've seen complaints about the stuff. Aleenes used to make some kind of fusing web. It was great. Too bad the company went bust. Want to try the Misty Fuse. Liz Berg wrote an article for Quilting Arts magazine and that's what she recommends.

Oh, my point.<BR/>You can purchase parchment at a restaurant supply store and it is the size of full sheet pans, which is much more convenient than the rolls. And, you can cut them in half (with a rotary cutter, as they slide all over the place when cutting lots at one time) and they will fit on your customary half sheet pans (cookie sheets?) and you will never have to grease a pan or clean up from oven mess again.Tommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12648012410321780203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9567735.post-1143119232619311582006-03-23T08:07:00.000-05:002006-03-23T08:07:00.000-05:00I just bought two bolts of WU- haven't tried it ye...I just bought two bolts of WU- haven't tried it yet but I will next week so I can see if it's bad or not.

Last month I bought a bit of new bolt at Hancock's, when home and tested it, then went back and bought the rest of the bolt. I hope by the time I use it all up, that bad stuff will be completely out of the system.PaMdorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14673157255405327125noreply@blogger.com
