Step 17Fuse one layer of plastic to outside and trim
One layer of plastic on the outside will cover your threads and seams, and provides a great finished look and a smooth surface for an applique design.
a. Lay the open pouch pocket side down on the ironing board and place #1 8x16 (20.5x41) strip of black plastic on top, allowing a good inch extra on all sides. Fuse with the iron. It takes much less time to fuse one sheet to the outside. You can always re-apply the iron if it didn't melt enough. You may wish to work some of the areas with the small iron if it didn't fuse uniformly.
b. Turn over and trim as shown. Width of trim = width of the innermost seam to the edge of the pouch + the thickness of the pouch. Trim the corners as shown.
