Cosplay Tutorial: Satin-Stitched Applique

As a well-known technique, satin-stitching is one of the nicest way to “applique” details onto your costume.

I’m not stating anything revolutionary here! However, everyone’s process can differ a bit, so perhaps my method will expose a different way to accomplish this technique. When adding certain kinds of details, satin-stitching is my prefered go-to method. If you’ve never heard the term before, satin stitch is basically a very tight zig-zag stitch that creates a nice solid line of “embroidered” thread. Not only does it add a nice, finished (and professional!) look to your costume, it is also very secure and durable. The time and effort is worth it!
