Stitch Appliqué Spiral to Base Fabric

Use a straight stitch to sew the appliqué spiral to the base fabric, begin stitching along the edge of the 1"-diameter circle in the center of the appliqué, and then stitch outwards along the edge of the spiral cut. When you reach about 1/8" from the end of the spiral's outside point, turn and stitch your way back to your starting point at the center of the 1"-diameter circle, where you'll knot off your thread.
