Stitch Witchery REMOVAL
 

Help! I used Stitch Witchery to add a border on a skirt, which I have
subsequently removed from the skirt. The inside hem now has leftover
Stitch Witchery all over it, which has generated giant snags in my
brand new pantyhose!

How on earth do I remove this stuff???

Thanks!

I'm sure there are better ways, but I did this with something years ago.
Heat it with your iron held about an inch above the goo. Zap


What about freezing it? I've done this with gum...

I know you want to remove it, but if all else fails perhaps you could
apply some hem tape to cover it.

How Much do you like the skirt? If you have these two things, test on
a hidden spot, it can damage fabric.

Everblum + denatured alcohol. (Rubbing alcohol won't work) Just
dribble a little of each onto a piece of cheesecloth and rub on the
stitch witchery. NOTE: Alcohol will remove the color from some
fabrics.

I buy Goo-Gone at TSWLTH and it does work wonders, even removing the heavy
glue on the windshield where the Tollway tags are glued, however I have not
tried it on Stitch Witchery.
Good luck!

Will it work on my iron sole plate? My grandaughter was working with heat n
bond today and now the sole plate is goo in spots.

I wouldn't use Goo-Gone on an iron. It's a petroleum distillate, and
I wouldn't want to get it hot.

OTOH, Dritz makes a sole-plate cleaner, intended to be used on a hot
iron. I find it works well on transfer webbing and fusible
interfacing adhesives

Before buying the Dritz stuff, try using an old credit
card as a scraper. I have had good luck scraping stuff
off. No chemicals, just a little elbow grease.
