A basting stitch is a long loose stitch used to hold fabric in place. It is not a permanent stitch and can be done instead of pinning fabric in place before sewing. Simply sew a long straight stitch (about 1 cm or 1/2") as shown above. Leave about 1 cm or 1/2" in between stitches as this will make it easier to take out the stitches later.
