to imitate machine stitches

ctitch 2. Basting stitch
e Basting stitch is quite important in
successful sewing. This is used to
hold fabric temporarily in place, until
permanently stitched. There are four
types of basting: hand basting,
machine basting, pin basting, and
basting edges with an iron.
2. Basting stitch
e All basting is done with a single strand
of thread. Often the thread is of a
highly contrasting color to the surface.
This provides an easy visibility, since
basting is always removed before the
garment is given the final press. A 3. Running stitch
»~<- ea simple needlework stitch consisting
\ of a line of small even stitches that run
in and out through the cloth without
overlapping.
eTo make this stitch, push point of
needle in and out of the fabric until
you have several stitches on the
needle. Hold the fabric taut with left
hand, pull the needle through. Practice
until you make fine stitches.
