Set Pattern Selector for Straight Stitching
With the basting stitch that is buiit into your
sewing machine, you can produce basting
stitches of any length up to two inches. Thus,
you can choose just the right length for your
sewing job, considering the weight of your
fabric and how securely the pieces need to be
held together. A few of the many sewing jobs
for which you will find speed basting particu
larly useful are:
• Joining seams for trial fittings.
• Marking construction guidelines.
• Basting pleats, hems, and seams.

Stitch Length
The stitch-length dial regulates the length of
basting stitches but, because the basting disc
changes the interval at which the needle en
ters the fabric, the numbers on the dial no
longer represent stitches per inch.
The settings on the dial and the approximate
length of the basting stitches they produce are
illustrated. The very short stitches produced
in the triangle above the FINE area are used
to fasten stitching starts.
