QUESTION----HOW DO YOU REMOVE IRON ON LEABLES..BOUGHT A BLANKET AND IT HAS AN IRON ON LABEL IN IT FROM THE PERSON WHO ONED IT..I WOULD LIKE TO REMOVE IT...THANKS LUCY

thanks your answers are good ones..i will do that if i can remove it i will descize it....thanks lucy

WELL I WOULD COMBINE BOTH ANSWERS: FIRST IRON AGAIN OVER THE LABEL TO SOFTEN THE GLUE SO YOU CAN TEAR OFF THE LABEL, AND WHEN THERE ARE GLUE LEFTOVERS; MAKE AN APPLIQUE OVER IT.

THAT'S WHAT I WOULD DO TOO GERRY. LOVE CHRIS

Lucy, Why don't you just applique over the label with something of your choice so it cannot be seen. I have done this in the past and it worked out well/Lillian

I have had luck in the past removing labels by ironing over the label to soften the glue and it peels off. If it is a large label , do a small section at a time because it needs to be warm to peel well. Hope this works.

That's what I would do too but I'm not sure if it would still leave some goo behind. You could try Goo Gone if it leaves some behind.
