An applique trick

The shop where I teach has a trick to prevent fusing onto the press
board covers..... They press freezer paper onto the board. For pressing
seams and such the freezer paper doesn't interfere, it doesn't shift or
get out of place and is easily replaceable when needed. G
Good trick to remember when you are doing a lot of fusing.

As to removing fusible web (instead of fusible interfacing...) Good
luck. Depends on the brand. Heat and Bond will lose all its ability to
stick if you over heat it and is the best if you have goofed. (But I
don't like it because of that BG) With either Wonder Under or Steam a
Seam, you may just need to applique over the problem area. They may
eventually "go away" but I wouldn't count on it. IF you have already
heated with a cloth over it and it didn't pick up the excess, you may
have just forced the "glue" into the fibers of the board cover.
Sorry.

Have fun.

easily with nary a ravel or fray. It did Not work where the foil
wasn't. Anybody know how to remove fusibles from a pressing board
cover? Polly

I have a roll of 'magic carpet' oven/baking tray liner the length of the
ironing board for this sort of work. Due to NOT having used it and
other iron accidents over the summer (at least 3 major scorch marks!) I
now need to re-do my ironing board!

Remove the entire cover and replace it with a new one
