    Help please.
    See Barb's posts #11 and #37 in this thread. The fusible webbing runs off the bottom edge, so when you cut the fabric, the edge is supported by the fusible webbing. She also mentions using some fray check in the corners where the fusible webbing may not stop a little raveling.

    The missing ingredient is "Fray Check".
