Satin Stitch the edges of the stem that do not abut the pumpkin. I used a 2.0 width satin stitch and 1.5 width for the lines on the stem. Using a narrow satin stitch (1.5), stitch the marked curved lines on the pumpkin. Stop at all cut outs and start again on the pumpkin color fabric.
Using the same width satin stitch that you used on the stem, stitch the edges and face cutouts of the pumpkin.
