You learn how to make a tassel stitch and attach it to wool appliqué using Eleganza #8 perle cotton. Wrap thread around two fingers 20 times to form a loop, secure with a double knot, then snip the bottom to release the strands. For décor pieces like pillows or bags, wrap a second thread around the top and tie a knot. For appliqué, place the tassel on the wool, anchor the top with 2 to 3 small stitches, then cover the top with tight satin stitches for a neat, rounded head. Finish by tying off on the back, trimming the ends even, and fluffing. Add more wraps before cutting for a fuller look. Mix a solid and a variegated shade for contrast. Eleganza #8 has a round perle structure that gives a soft, full finish. Stitch a stem line with back stitch, chain stitch, or stem stitch to show what the tassel hangs from.
