Eleanor Burns' method is to cut a piece of heat-n-bond lite the same size as the dresden plate. Sew with right sides together, leaving an opening, then turn right side out. At this point, she has you iron this on a square. But, you could use fabric, instead of heat-n-bond, which would bind the edges when turned right side out.
