Pin as much as necessary and then begin sewing! Because you have the water soluble backing on both on top and bottom, you may find it helpful to put the feed dog down on your machine. (These are the gripping teeth under the presser foot that help hold your fabric in place. To make this free-form stitching easier, it helps to do this.) It helps to sew around the whole piece first and then across the middle of it before you start the crazy stitching, so that you can remove the pins. Be sure to sew all over the place and catch all threads in between any fabric pieces you may have, because in some areas all that may be connecting yarns or pieces of fabric will be these stitches.
