Basting program
Basting is often used in dressmaking to join fabric layers
quickly for fitting in order to be able to adjust the garment to
the body. For that purpose you either sew long stitches with
6 mm stitch length or jump stitches with a length of about 2
cm
You can also apply markings to materials with long basting
stitches stitched through the material to be used. This is
preferable to using fabric markers in color, especially on
light-colored fabrics or materials with a rough texture.
Your creative 2144 includes a basting program which can be
selected with stitch no. 32.
This program can be used in two different ways. The
function is linked to the engagement and disengagement of
the feed dogs.
Also when the program is open, the feed dogs can be
alternately engaged and disengaged.

It the feed dogs are disengaged, the sewing machine sews
only one stitch when you press the foot control and then
stops.
You move the material freely, determining the stitch length"
by the amount you move the fabric.
By touching the
icon you can select to which height
the presser foot should raise automatically when the sewing
machine stops, for feeding the fabric further.

If the feed dogs are engaged, the sewing machine sews
with a 6 mm stitch length. 6 mm is the longest stitch length
of the creative 2144; it enables you to sew a temporary
seam for fitting.
