freeze it. put the garment in a bag in the freezer for an hour or press an ice cube on the gum, then scrape it off with a butter knife while it's hard. whatever residue's left comes off with a dab of dish soap or a bit of rubbing alcohol before you wash. don't put it through the dryer first, heat sets it in.
