ALso - I wouldn't use it again, and wondered if the other seam guides were more reliable. Thanks, everyone, in advance. Lorli |
Goo-Gone works. give it a try.

i dont know if this would work but when i got my new stove the tag left a sticky mess on the metal part of the stove and the service man told me to buy WD40 in a pen he had one with him and said he uses it all the time for this i bought one and use it all the time

i had to use peanut butter or vegetable oil to remove gum from my girls' hair 46 years ago. it worked. no chemicals. no damage. i think it would work on the machine and safely. what would it hurt to try? good luck.
|
So did any of our ideas work? :|
:XD: |
try Goo Gone. It's really a good product.

WD40 won't hurt the plastic. But neither will fabric softener. Just put some liquid softener in a spray bottle with a little water, and spray it to soak. Works like a charm, even on old wall paper
|
on an episode of How clean is your house? they said using Mayo will take off stickers and not leave a residue. It's worth a try and won't hurt anything.

I just ahd that very same problem with basting spray sticking to my machine, (silly me basted the wrong thing, made things very hard to sew) and so it all got stick to my machine. i just used a small peice of wadding, sprayed a small amount of silicone it , and it just wiped away really easy. Wont hurt the plastic either.

rubbing alcohal works great. God bless.
