Have you tried your manufacturer's website to see if they have basting stitches available as a download? Mine does :wink:

Hi Loretta,
Which Pfaff do you have? I have an old 1471 that has been wonderful and I love it BUT... I'd like to have better embroidery options.

I use WSS (wash away) on the back. Spray it with a little 505 and use WSS on top with a basting stitch. Turns out beautiful.

No need to hoop the towel, just the stabilizer is all.

Here's how it looks after it is washed. I used the same method on these burp clothes.
