help!

20 years ago

After brief searching, I found this forum and hope someone can help me....

I am in the military and my wife sewed some new stripes on my uniform for me. She used this stuff called "Stitch Witch", (I think that's what she calle it). Well, she put them on in the wrong place, and when she resewed them, it left a gunky place where the stich witch stuff had orginally been. My question is, how in the world do you get that stuff out? Iv'e tried scratching it off, using 'goo be gone', washing them, but no luck.

Please help this lost guy!!

I hope you haven't dried them in the dryer... I don't know if this will help but I searched and found this...

Why don't you contact them directly. There's an email button on their site. You can't be the first person this has happened to. I'm sure you don't want to buy a new uniform everytime you get a promotion.

The product is called Stitch Witchery and you need to reheat it to remove it. Get your iron very hot, no steam, and put a cloth over the gummy area, and hold it over about 10 seconds, then remove the cloth, and it should pull off with the cloth. You may need to do this a couple times in some areas.
