Applique and glue question

[melham]

HI. I am trying to use an iron applique for a clippie type bow, but the glue gun "glue" will not stick. It slides right off. I have tried to pull the slick backing off the iron on, but it won't come off. I would really appreciate any ideas!! THANK YOU, Melissa

Is the glue gun glue not adhering to the slick side of the patch? If so maybe distress it with sandpaper or iron the patch onto a piece of fabric then cut away the extra fabric then try the glue again. Hope that helps.

Thanks! I am going to try distressing! I am worried that I wont be able to cut around the pattern enough so that it looks good. I will definitely try the distressing idea! Crossing fingers!! THANKS!!!!!
