Hey guys,
I've just realised ive sewn my sgt stripes on the jacket upside down...DOH! Now i used a bit of wonder web to first posistion the stripes then i sewed around the edges. Does anyone have a clue wether you can un stick it once its stuck lol
If i cant im gonna have to live with my mistake. or buy a new 42 jacket lol
wonder web is basically fabric glue try turning the sleeve inside out and heat up the inside of the patch this should reactivate the glue

Cheers, I'll certainly give that a go tomorrow for sure.
Why does everyone want to be a sergeant? What's wrong with being a private?
I did it because the helmet that i bought from Ebay came with the NCO stripe painted on, already. At the time i had a thompson, so thought platoon sergent would be a good start.
I didn't do it to order people around.
I hav thought about buying another jacket and putting private stripes on it to use with my garand loadout.

Not tried it yet...its tomorrows job. But i will let you know how it goes. Gotta undo all my lovely stitching.
Before you do that, let's just check you HAVE put them on wrong eh?
They should be pointing upwards:

I've done them the british way...Pointing down
Doh! 
Dunno how i did it. As i looked at loads of pictures before i did it.
If the heat method doesn`t work get a can of carburettor cleaner, a quick spray and the glue rubs off like semi liquid rubber

Will it stain the jacket?
As soon as the patch is off douse the area in warm soapy water. The glue stays rubbery and you can rub it off with your fingers, done it on my grandaughters scout jumpers a few times when my daughter glued the badges on in the wrong place.
Right panic over its all sorted. I've managed to get rid of most of the wonder web, there a few patches that im working at getting off. The stripes are now back on in there correct posistions.
Cheers for everyones comments, and tips
