what is the alternative to a basting stitch if you only have a basic sewing machine?
If your sewing machine can only do a regular stitch, how do you do basting on a pattern, is there an alternative?
Are you able to change the length of the stitches on your machine? A very long stitch is a basting stitch. If you aren't able to machine baste, you could always do it by hand- just try to get your stitches about the same length when you do it.
Sometimes patterns call for basting but you are able to continue on without doing it. Depends on how experienced the sewer is I guess! Could you try going without the basting stitch step or are you gathering?
