Drawing on instructions from several books, I applied interfacing to stiffen the (pear) fabric and trimmed the image, leaving about half an inch all the way around.
I pinned the piece securely to the background (green) fabric. I machine stitched in a straight line around the shapes, then re-stitched with a tight zig-zag. I hand-stitched the stem and right leaf to avoid closing off part of the pocket.
Once all the stitching was done, I carefully snipped away the extra fabric with a small pair of scissors.
