This consisted of stitching the linings of coats, collars or cuffs, as well as basting pants, sewing buttons, or tacking pockets.
Basting can also be done using large curved safety pins rather than machine or hand basting.
The program is run and the machine makes a loose basting stitch over both layers of fabric.
New, custom-made kimono are generally delivered to a customer with long, loose basting stitches placed around the outside edges.
Fabric is evenly gathered using two or more lengths of basting stitches, and the top of each pleat is whipstitched onto the waistband or armscye.
The basting stitch is used for temporarily holding sandwiched pieces of fabric in place.
These stitches are anchored on each end in a manner that facilitates later removal and are analogous to basting stitches.
The basting marks are outlined with tailor's chalk.
