Tips on stretch applique

As I reflect on the quality of my work, I reckon this is a good time to write down tips for future projects.
When quilting stretch fabric it is helpful to make a small zigzag, say 0.5 wide X 3 long. This still looks straight but allows the fabric to remain stretchable and helps stop puckering.  The needle was a size 14 stetch needle as a ball point needle didn't work for some reason.  Don't worry about small mistakes, if it is not for show, just get on with it and enjoy yourself
