HELP!! Goofed up! Need help!

My kids came home for a visit and brought some drapes to be shortened. I didn't have the right color thread, so I thought, "Why not Steam-a-Seam? I had several rolls. They already had pinned up the sides, so I laid it down and finished pinning, then ironed in the fold, then put the Steam-a-Seam on and ironed it down. It really looked great! THEN.....I noticed I had ironed it to the WRONG SIDE or the drape! The fabric looks the same on both sides and I should have looked at it closer. I got it apart, but I have residue on the right side of the drape that I'm having a lot of trouble getting off. Used my fingernail to get part of it, now I'm picking at it with my pointy tweezers, but I'm still not getting it all off. Has anyone else done this? How can I completely remove this stuff easily?? Thanks in advance!
