You are sewing the pocket lining and pocket right sides together. Press seam and match bottom edges of pocket and lining and press. Open it up and place the fusible fleece along the top edge. Heat set. Now turn it right sides together and sew a 1/4 inch along each edge. Turn it right side out and you should only have a raw edge along the bottom. This will be added to the front when you have the quilting done as you want. Read the section about adding front pocket and it will make more sense. It took me a while on my first one and now I don't even need the pattern. I hope this helps.....And no you are not dumb....Sometimes directions are confusing.
