I have to say, that the person who discovered rubbing a paracetamol tablet on a hot iron, to remove the stuck on gunk from "iron on fusible", is a genius. #sew 🧵🇳🇿🪡🧶 #quilt #fabric #textile #craft

I had to Google "paracetamol" (I'm in the USA) and it's TYLENOL (acetamenophin) over here. WHO KNEW? Great glue, I've got to grab some and clean my iron! #QuiltSky

I have a packet in my sewing kit just for this purpose. The iron has to be at least on cotton or linen setting. Once you rub the tablet on the gunky area, use a paper towel to wipe the gunk off. Hard to believe that it works, I always wonder at the science behind it. #quiltsky
