Removing Embroidered Patch Adhesive
So hey, I enjoy adding embroidered patches to my Utilikilt workman's, survival II, and denim...not all, but some.
Have a Scottish flag on the left pocket of my caramel workman's. Yesterday I'm up in Flagstaff at a bookstore that carries a lot of Celtic stuff. And I see an embroidered Irish flag patch. Start thinking...hey, the caramel workman's is "sort of" a saffron color. I'd just purchased a kelly green hooded sweat to wear with the caramel workman's. Seemed like I should buy the Irish flag patch and replace the Scottish flag. An Irish flag seemed more appropriate for the saffron-like color of the caramel workman's.
But hey, the Scottish flag was ironed on...can I even get it off without ripping the material under it....or will there be a huge patch of adhesive residue that will need to be removed before I can iron on the Irish flag. Sure I could sew the new patch over. But also got to wondering if I should have just sewn on the patch in the first place...what if I want a plain looking pocket again.
Anyone know if that iron on adhesive is easy to remove or if someone makes a chemical that will do it without eating up the fabric or changing the fabric color.
I have no clue...any help, suggestions appreciated.
