- Applique is not difficult. Generally what I do is
-
- (1) Cut out a shape I want to put on the kite surface
- (2) Fix this onto the sail. I do this either by spraying the
- surfaces with water, or with spray mount (that spray on
- glue they use for mounting photographs on card).
- (3) I then stitch the material to the sail
- (4) Finally, I take a seam ripper with a "ball on the end".
- They all have a "ball on the end". I then make a nick in
- the back of the surface and then insert the seam ripper,
- placing the "ball" against the seam, and zip around the
- seam.
- (5) If you used spray mount, clean the surface.

- Easy .... but practice so that you have confidence.
