Baste
Basting is temporary stitching for tting
garments, gathering and marking.
Your Platinum recommends reducing the
tension so the threads are easy to remove or
pull for gathering.
Fabric: Woven medium, cut in two. Place
the fabrics right sides together. Put the
fabric in position under the presser foot.
