Best way in my experience , is to lay it on the place you want it and
first use a tacking thread .. see that it doesnt pull etc,, than have
2 metods , 1 sew it on the knitting with a Zigzag catching a stitch
with both `loops`, and back to cloth piece. 2, make an embroidery
Blanket stich around the cloth while sewing it onto the knitted
piece .
After you chose either of the above , turn the work and you may
embroider over the Seams seen on the `better`, side .
If you use an embroidery thread whose color matches the wool it might
be almost invisible , if it is make it into an ornament ,
