6.16 Sewing Basting Stitches
When sewing basting stitches, it is recommended to use a fine darning thread. This is easier to remove. The
longest stitch possible is 5mm. The recommended stitch length is 3.5–5mm. The basting stitch is suitable
or sewing projects where a very long stitch length is required.

– The black button on the left side of the presser foot will lock the presser foot in a horizontal position if
you push it in before lowering the presser foot (1). This ensures even feeding at the beginning of a
seam and helps when sewing multiple layers of fabric such as sewing over seams when hemming
jeans.
> Once the highest point has been reached, lower the needle and raise the presser foot.
