Hurrah!!! My block is saved.
What worked...The first suggestion that all of you gave that I tried worked, so I don't know... the other suggenstions may as well. But, thankfully, I didn't have to try more than one.
I put it on my ironing pad and turned my iron up to scorching hot w/steam, held it above the place and shot it with steam several times. I quickly put a piece of cloth over it and ironed the dog out of it (southern for 'a lot') and some came off. I did this 3 times and...voila...all gone. Not a single trace and smooth as a baby's bottom.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping to save my block. Here is a big 'ol hug to all of you <group hugs>...I just love this board.
Again...thanks!

At a quilt shop this week, someone ironed a fusible to the ironing board. One lady had a special paper that she said would remove the fusible. She put it over the fusible and ironed the paper. It removed every bit of it the first time. I don't know what the name of it was though. I should buy some because I know I am bound to do the same thing at some point.

When I get Heat-N-Bond on my ironing board cover, I place a piece of computer printer paper over it, iron with the same setting used to set it to the fabric. While it is still warm, lift off the paper and the unwanted film will come with it.
