Take the 4 1/2" by 8 1/2" piece of fabric and fuse the remaining 1 3/4" by 8 1/2" piece of interfacing and fuse it 1" in from one edge of the fabric. Fold the fabric over both edges of the interfacing and press into place completely inclosing the interfacing. Edge stitch one of the folded edges.
You stitch up to 1/16th of an inch from the fold all the way around the interfacing, which holds the fold in place.
