I used fabric glue on a pair of suit pants...new at that, when I was pinched for time and now I have no idea how to remove it. I think I used too much at that. If anyone has an idea on safe removal I would be forever grateful. The hubby is not very happy with me! Thanks!

| Home Depot and Walmart used to sell a product called "Un-Du" adhesive remover, made specifically for that. Not sure if they still sell it so you might want to check it out. |

Would nail polish remover work? It takes different adhesives off but I'd do it on a test piece first. I bought some stuff called 'Glue Pins' which is a fabric glue that washes out as soon as it gets wet. I use it for a number of things that need tacking in place before I sew it. Another great produce is 'Wonder Tape' which you can press into place and doesn't gum up a needle, then it also washes out. True fabric glue tends to be permanent and is pretty hard to get out. Good luck! Laura

Laura, I haven't seen those 2 items around here before-are you buying off line or locally? Sound like good items to have around.

I got both locally at one of our fabric shops. I have seen Wonder Tape at Joann's and I think you can get it online at Nancy's Notions http://www.voguefabricsstore.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=2508 http://www.denverfabrics.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=FH0010&Category_Code=FH-b&Product_Count=3 Laura
