I was so happy to come upon this site! My mother who had been visiting from out of town didn't realize she got a wad of gum in my beautiful hand made quilt!! It was thin and very dried in the center of the quilt by the time I found it. I was desperate to find a solution to remove the gum without ruining my quilt. I read the different suggestions. I tried the shout because I had it handy. It worked wonderful without all the scrubbing fuss!! I saturated the areas and let it sit on the sites a few minutes and used a thin metal spatula. I used pulling up motions and it rolled right off!! Thank you so very much!!!!!!!!
