Re: Damaged Iron
There is an iron cleaner you can buy-comes in little tubes-that works for some things. I've had luck removing adhesive -fusible web or heat and bond- by ironing a dryer sheet. not sure if it would remove large amounts though

Re: Damaged Iron
Wow! The Magic Eraser took care of the job! I used it with a hot iron and it removed the large portion pretty fast, but the edges of the iron took a little more work because I think it was thicker there somehow.
Thanks everyone! : )

Re: Damaged Iron
I've had this happen when my daughters were learning to sew. Best product I tried was the iron cleaner from JoAnns. Use old towel, rub on the cleaner when its hot. Takes every speck off

Re: Damaged Iron
Thank goodness for this post! I just ironed over a tiny, tiny piece of fusible backing last night, and my brand new iron got all gunked up! Yikes! I just tried your trick with the Magic Eraser, and it worked , like it says, like magic! Thanks so much for posting this idea, saved me lots of trouble and worry. (And I have also learned to be much more careful about using fusible backings!)

Re: Damaged Iron
Just caught the tail end of this post but it caught my eye. I
just bought myself a new iron and ironing board ( old one taped together with electrical tape 3 years ago- I rarely used it to be honest ) but since I started quilting 4 months ago..... ( told dear hubby that I was planning to save on dry cleaning his shirts!) My old Iron saw light of day maybe once every few months, now several times a week!
