To do this, one sequin is applied to the fabric, and a needle with a thread is threaded from the back side, moves from the center to the edges, the stitches must be hidden under 2-3 decorative elements. There is also a seam called "back to the needle", the needle goes to the front side through the sequin, and then it is stuck in from the right and comes out to the left, after which it goes through the middle to the wrong side.
