"Hi, I'm Candi Cane-Canncel here with Expert Village. So, in this clip I'm going to show you how to take your small heart and actually stitch them to your larger heart. So we are going to unpin them and pull them apart. We didn't get as much heart on this one as I wanted, but, that's ok. I'm just going to place them towards the top and this one towards the top as well and then you?re going to go ahead and pin it very carefully. I'm using a satin that when you pin it too much it tends to run a little bit so you just want to be careful and kind of pin toward the seam allowances. Then take it to your machine and I'm just going to be stitching all the way around the heart and I'm just going to be using a straight stitch on about a three length. So, I'm going to start on one of the flatter parts of the heart and I'm just going to go close to the edge. When you?re sewing something like a heart just take your time with it because there is a lot of different shapes involved. There's some rounded shapes, some pointed shapes so you just want follow the details of it and just take your time. Okay, once you've done one you?re going to do the exact same thing to the next one."
