Default Fusing PUL

Have any of you worked with PUL? Any tips on fusing it to flannel? Or maybe to cotton?

An old family friend made a changing pad for me as a gift at my baby shower. It was just a piece of flannel backed with PUL. It looked like she had sewn the layers right sides together, turned them right side out, and then finished with a zig zag stitch around the outside. I copied this with a few pads of my own, except I used a straight top stitch and rounded my corners. However, the layers slipped on each other and it was a bit annoying.

So a few nights ago I decided to make more pads, but tried a different approach. I fused the flannel and PUL with wonder under webbing, then used some pre-made bias tape to finish the edges. For the bias, I stitched it on, then fused the back if it with more webbing since it was too difficult to run a needle through the fused PUL by hand.

I was just wondering if anyone had tips for fusing PUL. I have also considered seeing how fusing fleece to the PUL would work... It would give a little padding and the friction might keep the flannel from slipping. I did make one pad with a layer of batting and that seems to keep the flannel in check, but it is too thick to fold for the diaper bag.
