My Innova has a stitch regulator, but it does not have a long stitch that would be used for basting. (If I had the more expensive stitch regulator, I think it might have a basting stitch). If I want to baste within the quilt using regular thread, I have to do a single stitch, move the machine, single stitch, etc. It is possible, but it is not optimal for me or for the quilt. I would also charge big bucks to do it this way.
However - there is another option, and that's using water soluble thread for the basting. That might or might not work for you, depending on the humidity where you live and how long the quilt will be in the frame. Superior makes two different water soluble threads (Vanish Lite and Vanish Extra). I have used the Lite in my longarm, top and bobbin, and it works great for stabilizing the quilt before doing the quilting. The Extra would probably be better for your purpose.
