If it's a new uniform, make sure to wash and dry once before sewing on the patch, otherwise, the fabric will bunch unevenly under the patch after the first wash and dry cycle. Many uniforms are made out of cotton. Cotton will usually shrink somewhat after the first wash. If you sew a patch onto your uniform before it has been washed then the fabric under the patch will shrink and pull your patch, bunching it. It is also a good idea to iron the area where the patch is to be placed before starting to sew. Ironing the area will remove any wrinkles. If you sew your patch over wrinkles then your uniform will be permanently wrinkled. Choose a thread that is either the color of the uniform or the color of the edge of the patch. If you can't find a thread that's the same color as either, look for a darker color that's as close as possible. Darker rather than lighter thread will blend better and not show up as blatantly. You can also get a clear thread to make it less visible. Some patches such as those on military uniforms need to be placed in a specific area. For example, if you need to sew on an American flag patch you need to place it on the shoulder/bicep area of the sleeve. The flag also needs to be placed so it's facing the right direction. The American flag should always be positioned so that when the wearer is moving forward, it gives the flag the effect of waving in the wind, moving forward. Check with your superiors to make sure you are placing patches in the correct places. If you're not very familiar with sewing, you may want to start with a piece of thread no longer than 18 inches (45cm). Longer pieces tend to get tangled and are harder to work with than shorter ones. Alternatively, you can try not cutting the thread and leaving it on the spool. This will help prevent the thread from getting tangled as well. Additionally, you won't have to worry about running out of thread and re-threading your needle. Cut any loose threads that are hanging beyond the knot. You should leave a little thread about 1/2" (1cm) long. Leaving just a bit ensures that you don't accidentally cut the knots. Tuck the thread under the patch.

Summary: Wash, dry, and iron your uniform before you begin. Get a sewing needle and thread. Position the patch in the correct placement. Cut a piece of thread. Cut the ends of the thread.

If you're interested in hanging out with her as a friend, there is less pressure to say just the right thing than if you want her to become romantically interested in you. Once you figure out what you want, you can proceed to text her accordingly. Note: Most of these steps assume that you are looking for a romantic connection with a girl. After you get a girl's number it is best not to contact them right away in order to not appear needy or annoying. After you've waited however long you think is necessary (2 or 3 days tops), send a quick text message that let's her know you're thinking of her. It's best to keep the first text short and sweet, flirty, funny, mysterious, or any combination of those. A common text most guys send would be "Hey. It's John from the coffee shop, remember me?" This is a mistake. Just assume they remember you and they are anxiously awaiting your text. Asking if they remember you should only be in a flirty manner (i.e. you're teasing her because she'd had a couple of drinks when you met her at a party). Try to stick with the vibe you created when you first got her number. If you flirted with her by giving her a silly nickname like "shorty" or "dork," include the nickname to subtly remind her about your chemistry in person.

Summary: Decide what you want from this girl. Don't be clingy. Keep up the vibe.

The washing must be done from the elbows to the fingertips and not vice versa. Pour water from a little above the elbow to ensure that the whole forearm is covered. Wash in such a way that the water penetrates the hair, if any, and reaches the skin. A second such washing is recommended while subsequent washings are prohibited.
Summary: Using the left hand, pour water over the right arm from the elbow to the finger-tips. With the same hand, wipe the water over both sides of the arm to ensure that all parts are washed. Repeat for the left arm using the right hand. Washing your arms once as described is obligatory.
