Let's Make Berries - continued

Using a light box, window or other light source, pin the berry into place on the right side of the fabric. You may also use the pin method of placement to position the berry. I like to pin the berry in place with at least two pins placed at angles to each other so that the berry doesn't shift. I place the pins on the back side of my work and only pin through the seam allowance.

Using your favorite applique thread, stitch the berry into place with lots of tiny stitches.
	You may find that your berries are not perfect. That's OK. Nature doesn't make perfect berries either. However, with a little practice your berries will be so close to perfect that everyone will be asking how you make them.
Your little berries will also look terrific once the top is quilted.
