Cross Stitch/Glue on aida

Question
I have been making a cross stitch afghan and accidental spilled fabric glue onto the material.  Do you have any suggestions on glue removal?
Thanks,
Amani

Answer
Hello, Amani

Unfortunately, I don't have a remedy for removing glue from fabric, including fabric glue.  If you were able to wipe up most of it from the fabric, and you can still poke through the holes, the stitches should cover the remaining glue.  Just be sure to wait until the glue dries thoroughly before continuing to stitch.

Sincerely,

Angela

I have 22+ years of cross stitching experience, which includes stitching on Aida, evenweave linen, vinyl canvas, and have stitched a design on a cotton t-shirt using waste canvas. I have also worked with beads and blending filament in quite a few projects. I have made many projects which include cross stitched mugs, a keychain, pictures, magnets, and the cotton t-shirt. I can answer questions pertaining to preparing and cleaning fabric, preparing clothing for stitching, how many threads to be used on which Aida cloth, and will try to help you to the best of my ability with other questions you may have. I am prompt in my responses and usually answer within 24 hours from when you ask your question. I look forward to helping you. :)
