Question
I have an old cross stitch that was framed using duct tape at the back. I have washed the piece and it cleaned up nicely, but the residue from the tape is still sticky. What can you recommend to remove this?
Hello, Arlene :)
Unfortunately, I couldn't suggest anything that would help you with this. Normally, alcohol is used to remove the adhesive stickiness off of glass or something. However, I don't think that'll work in this case.
I'm sorry that I'm not helpful with this. :(
Sincerely,
Angela

Expertise
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. :)
