Perhaps you did not use enough water Monica. I usually pull off any WSS I can prior to using the water, & then spray it till wss is not longer visible. Some designs I will hold under faucet, wet then blot well with a clean towel, spread out & let dry. *

me too Monica. Cut away as much as I can and use warm water spray or just wash the whole garment in warm water. Except FSL which I soak in warm water only until wss is completely disolved, then I press between some of that new water absorbing fabric, between a folded towel and place whole thing underneath my 1959 Websters Dictionary. It weighs a ton!!! LOL!
