You might try putting some scrap material over the glue when you heat it. Hopefully the scrape will absorb the glue.

I am not sure but what about Goo Gone?

I appreciate your answers...I am going home to try everything that has been suggested...hopefully I will make something work!!!
Many thanks!

I read on anothe thread, somewhere, to try the freezer and/or water as some glues are water soluable.

You might also try this: 1, remove the glue stick from the glue gun and clean every bit of stray glue off the metal tip, 2, place a piece of newspaper without any newsprint (look for a page without any text on both sides) over the fabric you want to remove the glue from, and 3) turn on the glue gun and use it to melt the old glue. Most of the glue should melt on to the newspaper. Good luck.
