I used an interfacing that I already had, ironed to the back of the whole pocket piece. She's already got her school folder in it, to take to school tomorrow.

Just looks like you needed a heavier stabilizer, you can add a heavy weight tear away with the iron on...just takes practice on experimenting with the different stabilizers to get it right. Also, do not over tighten your material in your hoop, it will pucker as it comes back to it's relaxed shape. Hope this helps.

When you say heavy weight tear away, do I need to look for fusible?
