PIN BASTING

Pin basting is a time-saver and can be

used

when

you

sew

easy-to-handle

fabric. Use fine pins and place them:

• On top of the fabric (never on the

underside in contact with the feed).

• At right angles to the stitching line.

•

Just nipping into the fabric at the

stitching line (never extending under

both sides of the presser foot).
