Summarize the following:
To start the stitch, push the needle into the back of the fabric. Position the tip of the needle so that it will come out right beside the edge of your applique on the front side of the fabric. Once the needle is through the fabric, keep pulling it until the thread is taut. Make sure that the thread only goes through the fabric and not the applique! Next, push the needle back down through the applique and the fabric behind it. Insert the needle about 0.15in (0.38cm) from the edge of the applique. This stitch works the same whether you are stitching along a straight or curved edge. Focus on the distance from the edge of the applique to get even stitches. Instead of pulling the thread taut, bring the needle right back out of the fabric on the front side. Bring it out beside the applique rather than going through it, just as you did before. The needle should come out at a point parallel to where you inserted it whether the edge is straight or curved. Before you pull the thread taut, bring the loop of thread around the needle. Then, pull the needle through the loop until the thread is taut. This will secure the first stitch.

summary: Push the needle through the fabric near the outer edge of the applique. Insert the needle back down through the applique 0.15in (0.38cm) from the edge. Bring the needle back out on the edge of the applique again. Wrap the thread around the needle and push it through the loop.

It can be daunting to pick out a crochet top simply because they can appear very exposing. Popping a nude camisole on underneath your crochet top is the perfect solution. By choosing a nude color, it will not blend in or distract from the crochet pattern, which is the star of your outfit. You're also fully covered, so there is no need to worry about exposing too much or looking inappropriate. If you're bold, you may not want to cover up completely under your crochet top. Instead, try layering it over a bralette or a bandeau. Bralettes are similar to bras, except they have no underwire and look less like an undergarment than a traditional bra. Bandeaus are a strip of cloth that cover your chest like a tube top. By wearing either of these under crochet tops, you can keep your stomach exposed in your crochet top, while still covering up your chest. You can find bralettes with all kinds of pretty detailing, and both bralettes and bandeaus come in a variety of colors. You can choose a beautiful piece that will add interest to your outfit from underneath your crochet top. You certainly don't have to stick to neutral tanks and undergarments. In fact, adding a pink bra, a royal blue tank top, or a bright red bandeau under a crochet top can add a pop of color to your outfit. Keep the rest of your outfit neutral and let the colorful undergarment highlight the pattern of the top. For example, try pairing simple black shorts with a black crochet top, but slip a red camisole underneath for a bright pop of color. Jeans and a white crochet top can become more interesting by adding a neon color bandeau underneath.

summary: Wear a nude tank top underneath. Put on a bralette or bandeau underneath. Don something colorful underneath.

Before you begin, you will want to make sure that whatever distance you are working with is either in miles (if using Imperial units) or in kilometers if working with metric. It doesn't make much sense to convert smaller distances into light years, but you can if you're curious. To convert feet into miles, remember that there are 5,280 feet in a mile: x ft (1 mile/5280 ft) = miles. To convert meters into kilometers, simply divide by 1000: x m (1 km/1000 m) = km. You need to identify the units for the distance that you're converting to light years. If you're converting from kilometers to light years, you will use a different conversion factor than if you're converting from miles. To convert from kilometers to light years, you will use: 1 light year/(9.46 x 1012 km). To convert from miles to light years, you will use: 1 light year/(5.88 x 1012 miles). Once you have determined the proper conversion factor, you can multiply by the original distance to obtain the distance in light years. When numbers are large, it is best to use scientific notation. For example: If you knew that an object was approximately 14.2 x 1014 miles away from Earth, how many light years would that be? Use the miles conversion factor: 1/(5.88 x 1012) Multiply: (14.2 x 1014) x (1/(5.88 x 1012)) = 2.41 x 102 = 241 light years. The object is 241 light years away. You can always ask for assistance from your teacher and fellow students. There are also many resources online and in your text book to help you when converting to light years. Don't hesitate to ask for extra help if you need it. Remember, there are always multiple ways to get help when looking for an answer.
summary: Identify the distance you want to convert. Determine the correct conversion factor. Multiply the original distance by the conversion factor. Find help.
