Try some Goo Gone or WD40. Put some on the adhesive to soften it. Blot the adhesive off. May want to slip some cardboard behind the glue on the inside. Shouldn't hurt the fabric. Don't use any solvents like nail polish remover. It will melt the fabric.
scrape off as much of the glue as possible. Do not rub as this pushes the glue deeper into the fabric. Treat the area with ore wash stain remover. Wash in the hottest water approved for the fabric.
You could try placing paper towel over the area and behind to avoid transfer and use a hair dryer to heat the glue up. Once heated, Press down on the paper towel to remove the adhesive. Be careful the high temperatures keeping the blower just far enough away to complete the job but not damage the material. For future, use the hairblower to remove the label slowly heating the glue up and slowly pulling back the label.
Try Woolite since it is so gentle. Then get meaner. 😇
