Applique is not difficult. Generally what I do is 

(1) Cut out a shape I want to put on the kite surface
(2) Fix this onto the sail. I do this either by spraying the
    surfaces with water, or with spray mount (that spray on
    glue they use for mounting photographs on card).
(3) I then stitch the material to the sail
(4) Finally, I take a seam ripper with a "ball on the end". 
    They all have a "ball on the end". I then make a nick in
    the back of the surface and then insert the seam ripper,
    placing the "ball" against the seam, and zip around the
    seam.
(5) If you used spray mount, clean the surface. 


Easy .... but practice so that you have confidence.
