    Goo be gone? I have some but haven't used it. I hate those paste on labels, they mess up fabric big time!

    If it is only the glue left, a piece of Scotch tape might work. If you put it firmly on the glued part and then take it off, some of the glue should stick to the Scotch tape. Repeat until nothing is left on the fabric. This works at least for glue residues on smooth surfaces.

    If scotch tape doesn't work try duct tape or packaging tape that has more sticking power. I've used it before to get residue off clothes when the size label has sticky residue. Good luck.

    My first thought was the freezer as well. Goo be gone is great, but not sure how it works on fabrics. Fingernail polish remover might be a last resort try as well.

    Soaking it in warm soapy water maybe?

    This JUST happened to me! I finally wound up turning the fabric upside down, with the label toward the ironing pad, and hitting the steam button a couple times. That loosened yhe adhesive, and I was able to scrape the stickies off with my fingernail. Good luck!

    That is how I get mine off too. Works like a charm.
