And of course no one told me about it so now it has glue all over the skirt for over a year. I have washed it twice and it is still there. I am so mad at her. I will try goo gone first and then WD40.

Oh no!!! Why on earth would anyone glue a hem????? Good luck Fez!

Joanns had a problem a few years ago with the glue from the sticker, staying on the fat quarters. i took them back..and would not buy a FQ from them, unless i took off one side of the label first.

they have changed companies they get their FQ's from now.

This is just a joke, but maybe they had to list the petroleum in the ingredients because of all the oil spills throughout the world?
And the fish absorb the oil?

For the adhesive try using nail polish remover.
As for the WD-40 it is also very useful for dissolving the acid on any kind of battery, including autos. I have also used it to take tractor grease out of clothing, then wash and dry as usual. Does not leave ay residue or stains.

ROFLOL, oh my goodness honey, my cousin had to tape my wedding dress hem (I made my dress and just didn't get the hem done) while I was putting on my makeup at the church. Thirty seven years next month and it is still taped!!!

Hey, I just realized I have used every kind of spray, oil, etc I could think of to stop the squeaky door on my SUV including WD-40, but I have not tried the Goo Gone. Hmmm...
