There are two basting stitches on this machine. If you tell the machine what fabric you're
working on and technique #4 it'll take you directly to stitch #4. That's just a regular
basting stitch. It's a really long, pre-programmed stitch length that is ready to go and quickly
will jump through your fabric and will make it really easy to take out at a later time.
Look how long this stitch is. Isn't that great. That's going to be really easy. You can snip
it with your scissors or a quick seam-ripper and then a pull it right on out.
Stitch #6 is also a basting stitch. They call this a straight basting stitch. The way this works,
you're going to notice it just shows you a little dot on your screen. It's going to go
ahead as you stitch two stitches, I do need to stop with the needle up on this technique.
Two stitches and then the foot comes up to hover. Slide the fabric forward to where you
want the next stitch to be taken.
You can actually control, my bobbin threads not long enough, that all the way up, there
we go. Go ahead and stitch. What's it's going to do, it's going to take two stitches every
time you actually stop. What's nice is it just allows you to drag and make a stitch.
Do have your hands behind your fabric because you're going to pull it through and then go
ahead and tack and it stops. It's stopping for your each time you go around.
When you're done, we'll just cut the thread and you'll notice how easy this will come
out when you're actually done with the basting stitch. You can see how long, you're in control
of where those stitches are actually placed and with a just quick pull, all the thread
will come on out and it's not there at any time at the end.
