Trying out the different tension settings for the applique (zig zag stich at the widest setting)

Had to put the tension at zero as the thread would break easily if the tension was too tight

I cut away the cutouts first, revealing the edges before tacking them with a straight stitch. Then i used the zig zag stitch along the edges, going along the curves. For steeper curves, i would lift up the presser footer with the needle down and shift the cloth slightly

Once the applique stitches are done, i would cut out the peach organza that is in the cutouts so that i can insert the bubble fabric and iron the stitches to make them flat.

I chose the bubble fabric that is layered with white shiny organza rather than the blue as the blue organza is too similar a shade as the baby blue fabric, there’s much lesser contrast.
