removing adhesive stabilizer/the solution
#1
I don't remember the brand but it's on a roll about 4" wide, pretty heavy and very adhesive!some of it peels off pretty good but some of it seperates and just the paper peels off , it's like trying to peel a sticker off a picture frame. GGRRRRR. I thought about soaking it in hot water but I used this on towels last year and thought it would wash off, NOT, it's still there. I know for glass you can spray it with WD40 and it will come right off but that will probably stain my fabric. I really don't want to spend hours and hours picking this off. it's a huge applique about 25" X 30" but the problems isn't where the stitching is it's everywhere else.
okay I know somebody has the secret, give it up

I haven't tried anything yet, just pulling it off. trying to get some ideas for when I get off work, I bought a bottle of something may be goo gone not sure paid like $6, tried it on a sticker on plastic, didn't help a bit. I'll try some of these tips on the piece I practiced my stitches on and see which one gives the best results
thanks for the help

Are you able to buy Eucalyptus Oil in the USA? I keep a bottle of this handy in my laundry ALWAYS.
Why?
It takes glue off anything including fabric
It does not leave a stain
You can de-spot any fabric including vynal, leather, cloth, plastic, glass, stainless steel.
It is wonderful for clearing nose and sinuses when you have a cold.
Last week while spring cleaning I found a bundle of sample fabric. Each has a sticky label that has been stuck on for the past 10years. I decided to use one to make a rice bag. the label left a sticky residue on the fabric. I put two drops of eucalyptus oil on a rag and rubbed it gently over the sticky spot and hand washed the fabric in warm water. Voila! cloth is as good as new.
It comes in a small bottle and may be available at your drug stores.
