Basting (in quilting or dressmaking) isn't very popular anymore, but it's a surprisingly quick way to align things and then realign them if necessary. Sometimes it takes longer to fidget everything together with pins, which can be so bulky, and if you start with a short stitch length and it's not perfect, it takes forever to rip out - and sometimes damages the fabric. I have been doing more basting lately and find that it's very efficient.
