Step 7: Press again with a hot iron. Place into sewing machine and stitch around the outside edge. Use either matching or contrast thread. New to sewing? Stitch around the necktie outside edge with a simple straight stitch. Feeling a little adventurous? Stitch around the outside edge with a zig-zag stitch. Scared of using a sewing machine? Use a needle and thread, and handstitch around the outside edge.
