I did that with mine, but it only lasted a few months. I then went to a crafts store and got some die, and this worked great EXCEPT that if you sat on it or rubbed up against it it would come off, and I ruined a few pair of shorts and some T-shirts. I saw somewhere in the forum some picures where someone removed it, but that was not what they were advertising. I am going to try and remove mine and them put an iron over it. JR
