Pinkberrykay, A basting stitch is a very long stitch that sewers use at times to make sure that things stay together until a more permanent stitch is put in. Usually it is 3 or 4 stitches to the inch where regular stitching is 10-12 stitches in an inch. Does that help? Also, people baste stitch the 3 layers together instead of pinning or spray basting...
