Has anyone done this? Forgot to mention that after you have turned and pressed in place, you stitch around it. Mine will definitely be stitched via the sewing machine. ;-)
that is similar to what somebody told me to try with using fabric sheets. I have tried it with fabric sheets as interfacing but that is about it. I actually don't normally use interfacing so am not too much help.

I will mention that if you use something like heat n bond and you get it on your ironing board and/or iron, iron a fabric softner sheet (like for the dryer). It takes it out and cleans it up.
