Did you try renting a steamer unit that you hold up against the wall?
In our experience, it made short order of removing old wall paper.

I know I shouldn't ask, but I'm going to anyway.
Why is there wallpaper border on a textured wall?? It was prolly glued in order to stick to the texture....Sandbar's correct. Steam it or at the very least, soak it with a solution of wallpaper solution or palmolive dishsoap in water until the paper is saturated and begins to lift off the wall . Then try to peel it.

THe people who lived here before us were stupid. That's why they put border up on a textured wall. They glue the piss out of it. I got most of it off scoring it and soaking it in remover solution....not fun.

Probably would have been easier to stick to the Pooh theme.  |

turned out that the border was peel and stick. THe glue was not water soluble. It ended up resulting in mineral spirits and goo gone to get it all off....it's done.
