6.21 Sewing Basting Stitches

When sewing basting stitches, it is recommended to use a fine darning thread. This is easier to remove. With
the Basting Stitch 21, every fourth stitch is sewn. The longest stitch comes up to 24 mm when a stitch
length of 6 mm is selected. The recommended stitch length is 3.5 – 5 mm. The Basting Stitch is suitable for
sewing projects where a very long stitch length is required.
> Fit the Reverse Pattern Foot #1C/1D.
> Tap «Practical Stitches».
> Select Basting stitch 21.
> Select the stitch length.
> Pin the fabric layers at a right angle to basting direction to prevent the layers from slipping.
> Sew 3 – 4 securing stitches at the start and at the end.
