How can I remove the glue from a "My Name Is" sticker on a polyester shirt?

Hairspray or vinegar also work very well!
A solvent that you can get at Home Depot: Goof Off. It removed all the adhesive left on a couple of hockey jerseys that I took the name bars off of in seconds.
I just voted and placed the I VOTED sticker on the lapel of my new polyester jacket only to find out it left a adhesive stain when I peeled it off later. My girlfriend suggested placing scotch tape across the area and pressing down with your finger then quickly ripping it off. Worked like a charm!
Use duct tape to take off the sticky stuff and then wash it to remove the residue.
Rub some cornstarch baby powder on it. Then brush off with a clothes brush, wash in warm water. Do not dryer dry unless you see it is off. If not, take a wet washcloth and rub it like you would a stain.

My daughter has splatters of spray adhesive on her polyester parka. I have tried going over it with an iron with a cloth on top with little success. How can I remove the adhesive stains?
I used Stitchwichery on the wrong side of a pair of sweatpants.
I have removed a patch from a shirt, but the glue won't come off. I tried using an iron with no success. Any ideas?
I tried to use iron-on letters on a shirt. The letters did not stick, but the adhesive did. Any suggestions on removing the adhesive?
