Should the faux suede have a lower setting? Actually I was ironing the paper rather than the fabric. BUT that's not to say I didn't touch it.
If I made a list of everything that could have gone wrong with this project, I'd doing well to have hit every one of them. And I'm not done yet. :shock: :|

It WORKED!! My new sleek iron is BACK!! I found a short paper bag and cut it open--ran the hot iron on that and most of the black stuff came off. There was some other clear stuff on there that didn't, so I added the salt. That worked every better, but there was still a little sticky place, so I ironed a dryer sheet and WOW!!!
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-D :-D :-D :-D

I just did the same exact thing!! Except I even went a step further, I got fusible stuck all over my ironing board cover. Purchased Iron-Off for iron worked really well. Tired of old ironing board cover any way bought a new one with quilting rulers on it. Found out it doesn't pay to do something with a head cold. Brains just don't work well.
