I have had luck in the past removing labels by ironing over the label to soften the glue and it peels off. If it is a large label , do a small section at a time because it needs to be warm to peel well. Hope this works.

That's what I would do too but I'm not sure if it would still leave some goo behind. You could try Goo Gone if it leaves some behind.

Lucy, Why don't you just applique over the label with something of your choice so it cannot be seen. I have done this in the past and it worked out well/Lillian

WELL I WOULD COMBINE BOTH ANSWERS: FIRST IRON AGAIN OVER THE LABEL TO SOFTEN THE GLUE SO YOU CAN TEAR OFF THE LABEL, AND WHEN THERE ARE GLUE LEFTOVERS; MAKE AN APPLIQUE OVER IT.
