TEMPORARY
STITCHING
speed basting
With the basting stitch that is built into your
sewing machine, you can produce basting
stitches of any length up to two inches (5cm).
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 par
ticularly useful are:
• Joining seams for trial fittings
• Marking construction guidelines
• Basting pleats, hems and seams

Stitch Length
The stitch-control 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ters the fabric, the numbers on the dial no
longer represent stitches per inch or stitch
length in millimeters.
The settings of the control dial and the ap
proximate length of the basting stitches they
produce are illustrated. The very short stitches
produced in the triangle at the top of the FINE
area are used to secure the beginning and
ending of a line of basting.
