Step 6Putting it together: the sides and face of the watch
Next we need to sew the side strip we just made to the face of the watch. To do this I chose to use a modified blanket stitch. As the name of this stitch suggests, it is often used around the edges of blankets. If you think it is too difficult you can just sew back and forth using straight stitches. This website explains the blanket stitch.
First make sure the glue you used in step 3 has dried, otherwise this will be really hard.
Preparing the thread
First take some of your embroidery floss (about an arm's length of it) and separate it into two bunches of three strands. Straighten out each bunch and twist until the embroidery floss looks like one big thread again. This 3-ply will be the thread you sew with.
Whether you use the blanket stitch or the straight stitch you want to sew all around the top of the face and connect it to the side pieces.
