How to remove iron-on hemming strip from fabric?

Snow_White_5

Hello,

I've done a quick search in the forums and couldn't find what I'm after.

I used some of that iron-on hemming strip/tape (a very fine one from IKEA) to hem some delicate cotton curtains. I've taken the curtains down and now want to use them full-length, but the hemming tape is stuck so hard that it won't budge.

Does anyone know how to remove it? I don't want to keep pulling at it because it'll damage the fabric.

Thanks!

iron it again
it "melts" and you can just almost lift it out again
works the same way as when you put it in
going in, it melts, and when goes cool it adheres, so when its hot you can just pull it away
