We hope the following instructions for Assembling Gusset will make this section of the pattern more clear.

Using the long tail from the gusset, join the edges from Marker A to Marker B by whipstitching through the front loops only (FLO) of both pieces.

FLO is important, as stitching through both loops makes the gusset twist.
