I learned a long time ago not to use Velco w/sticky back only the sew on type. " Goo Gone" is a glue remover that comes in a pen style or bottle. I used to un-glue my embroidery hoop back when I was in to that. I rarely use spray on any more I find that quilt clips and safety pins work just as well w/out the toxic odors. I do have a can of 505 but found the June Taylor equally effective. A flat quilt looks nice when finished but after a gently wash it poofs up nicely ( cannot see my mistakes anymore )
