Construction
Layered Appliqués: Start with the bottom layer. For example, with the bird you want to appliqué the beak, body, then wing. Only appliqué around the outside edges. Do not appliqué the edges that will be layered.
Legs/Mouth/Stems etc: Use a satin stitch (a zig zag stitch with stitch length close enough that the fabric does not show between the stitches, but not so close that they get stuck under the foot). Vary the width depending on your design, usually 2-4mm.
