Be careful not to stretch the sweatshirt while you are stitching the pieces on.
I straight stitch along the sides of any pieces on an outside edge that won't show

Hello. I have just spent this afternoon sewing patches onto a sweat shirt and I'm not happy with it. I sprayed temporary glue on the patches and stuck them on. However, they kept falling off. Does the tutor in the tutorial stick them on one by one and then sew around them? Her patches look so neat; I wish mine did. Best wishes.
