Sewing Basting Stitches

When sewing basting stitches, it is recommended to use a fine darning thread. This is easier to remove. The recommended stitch length is 3.5–4 mm. The tacking stitch is suitable for tacking multiple layers of fabric.

  1. Fit the zigzag foot.
  2. Set the stitch pattern selector knob to A.
  3. Set the stitch length to 4.
  4. Set the stitch width to 0.
  5. Pin the fabric layers at a right angle to basting direction to prevent the layers from slipping.
