How to Get Applique Glue Off of Sweatshirts

Many fabric-related craft projects, such as holiday sweatshirt decorating, require the use of appliqué glue. Although appliqué glue is useful for adhering pieces of fabric to sweatshirts, it may accidentally drip or spill onto sweatshirt fabric. The longer appliqué glue remains on sweatshirts, the more attached it becomes. Promptly remove appliqué glue from sweatshirts to ensure complete fabric restoration. Fortunately, appliqué glue is water-based and only requires minimal supplies to remove from sweatshirt fabric.
