Fusing
Get our your iron and ironing board.  Make sure that there is NO water in your iron or it will totally mess this up. 

Make sure your iron is nice and hot, because we're doing pressing and heating. 

Place the canvas cross stitch piece without the interfacing on the ironing board.  Press the edges and corners of your canvas so that they lie relatively flat.  Put the iron to the side for a moment.

Align the interfacing so that it covers most all of the piece including the folded bits, but does not run off the edge.  If it does go off the edge, then trim it again so that it does not go over.  Place it shiny side down onto the back side of the cross stitch canvas  Now press and hold the iron onto the piece slowly moving it back and forth until the interfacing has solidly fused to the canvas.  

This will hold all your stitchwork in place as well as keep the code part flat on a garment.
