Thanks in advance to anyone with the patience to help me understand all this.

Hi Jeri,

You first iron all the small (1 1/2" usually) patches onto the grided interfacing. THEN you fold on the line, right sides facing, and sew on the lines. Supposedly, using the interfacing makes for more accurate seams. I never liked this product, nor found it that accurate. Using the grid is not an alternative to sewing them. Hope this is clear???
