Now you just fold over the gusset with the bungee cord and start sewing. Try to follow the mark you made on the big piece.
Then when you get almost half way around, stop about six inches or so from the v notch. You did put one of those on the other side right?
Now turn the project over, and start sewing from where you originally started and sew that half, also stopping about the same distance from the v notch.
Now you need to sew the ends of the gusset together so that it fits nice. This may seem like a pain, but when you sew around corners to make a curved fit the gusset will always end up either too long or maybe even too short.
The picture I took for this step didn't turn out, sorry.
Now that you have sewn the gusset in, it's time to topstich. In this picture you can see the topstich is done and if you look close you can see where the gusset was joined as Discribed above.
