I have a retail Navy Jacket with huge embroidery and applique designs that are too loud, and not pleasing to wear.  

I have 30 inches of a 60" wide microsuede(faux suede)..I'd like to lay this on..anyway, my quest. is how could I finish the piece of the overlay on the raw edge...just clean finish?  I would cut to fit..the front ....any ideas?

                                                                                                                 Thanks,       fredjan
