FWIW, the rule on flat rate envelopes is you may reinforce the closure with a single length of tape, only on the back side. As long as you don't cut the seams to make the envelope bigger, you can cram as much as you want in there!
It cost $9.00 - I still have the mailer - where did you get the polymailer?
There were approximately 6.5-7.0 yards of fabric in it. Still a bit less than the flat rate medium box (assuming the mailer was fairly inexpensive)
From my point of view, a most excellent swap.
