Step 4Interfacing!
For this one, definitely test it out first. Pin the interfacing on the fabric, about 0.75" in from the edge. Then, very carefully cut off 0.5" of the edges of the interfacing only (!). Be very careful not to cut the fabric as well. Make sure you're putting the correct sides of the interfacing and front together (my side that I marked with the blue X).
Then, heat up the iron while you wet a cloth, and then "steam baste" the edges of the interfacing. (I had no idea what that was either. Just lightly press the iron down on the edge, for about a second, then repeat going down all the edges) {edit: not to be confused with basting in the sewing sense}. Push the pins out with the tip of the iron. {edit: I don't really know why, it said to. Maybe in case they're hot?}
Now, put the wet cloth on the interfacing, and watch the steam rise as you iron it on. Flip it over to the "right" side, and continue, until the interfacing is properly affixed (check the bond at the edges).
