Applique
To applique a design on a sewing project or
garment:
1. Baste the applique to the top of your fabric.
2. Then use satin stitch to attach permanently.
You may want to use a contrasting color
thread.
NOTE: For best results, be sure your satin stitch
covers the bottom fabric and the top
fabric.

have finished sewing.
