Correct applique techniques

Patchwork class yesterday, where we are making a peg bag...
Dolores stopped me whilst I was sewing to let me know I was not sewing it correctly??
I am glad to say that she was correct. I have been doing this way for years... and the way she showed me is far far easier and quicker.
This is the right way of sewing. The needle goes from the inside to outside, and the thread is automatically caught.

And this was the way I used to do it, the needle going from out to inside,  followed by a wrapping of the thread...
What a revelation...:D
And thank you Dolores... :DD
As the zip for the sweater was not finished off properly, I also managed to sew bias tape to the back, which now means that it is much neater,
