Sewing Basting Stitches

When sewing basting stitches, it is recommended to use a fine darning thread. This is easier to remove. The longest stitch variant comes up to 5 mm. The recommended stitch length is 3.5 – 5 mm. The basting stitch is suitable or sewing projects where a very long stitch length is required.
