Wearing rubber gloves, remove as much of the gum as you can. Place cloth in a Ziploc freezer bag and place in freezer for one hour with the gum facing up. use dull knife to scrape the gum you counld not get out with rubber glove from cloth. Follow up with toothbrush to remove remaining residue. You can also pre-treat with a stain-removing solution. Found this on cbs news so i do not own this.By:CBSnews

The myans first used gum. they needed a sticky material that would hold things such as pots or clothes together, so when they found the gum trees, they started using them to stick things together. later though, a glue-ish sort of material made from the sap inside of willow trees and found that that worked better because gum seemed to stick to everything. hope that helpos :)

One way to remove gum from clothes is by placing the item of clothing in a plastic bag, ensuring the gum doesn't stick to the bag. Seal the bag, and place it in a freezer for a few hours.
