I've tried to grab as much gum as I could with my fingers, yet I couldn't remove the whole thing. There are still some thin layers of gum on my clothes and they are very, very sticky, plus annoying!!! Somebody helps me, please!!

But did you win the bubble-blowing contest?
First, I have much experience in these matters and I find that ice just presses the gum into the clothes fibers and once that happens...well, that ain't pretty. And adding peanut butter to an already sticky situation, I don't think that is what you intend to do.
The best way to remove gum from clothing is with masking tape. This method works best when the gum has just gotten on your garments, but it works with older messes, too. Just grab a strip, place it on the disaster and yank the gum off. This will break up the film, leaving smaller pieces behind that can be removed by a second or third attempt. It can sometimes be a long process and can use up a lot of tape but at least all evidence of your world record attempt will disappear.
P.S. Hopefully when you used your fingers you didn't get the gum too trapped in the clothes fibers or you might have to consider buying a new wardrobe.

Freeze it. Leave the clothes in your freezer for a couple of hours and when it's frozen solid try and get it off then, it will be much easier and less sticky.

Stick them all in the freezer and wait until the gum is hard. It should then come off in pieces. Much easier than when it is gooey

Rub an ice cube on it. So that the gum hardens and easier to pull out without spreading.

rub ice cubes on it and place the idem in the refrigerator for a few hrs than you can peel off the gum and treated with a spot cleaner before you wash it if there is any discolor of gum left

This really works! Put gasoline and gently remove the gum. Warning stay away from fire.

Chewing gum
Rub area with ice, then scrape off with dull blade. Sponge with dry cleaning solvent; allow to air dry. Wash in detergent and hottest water safe for fabric.
Good Luck !
