The first pic will be my first flower and the second will be the baste process the tutorial taught.

I don't ever baste through the card stock, I go around the edge with a basting stitch, making neat folds at the corners, pull my thread tight, it'll pull together like closing a bag, do a few back stitches and it is all nice and flat against the card stock hexagon. You can pull the card stock out after at what ever point you want to, but you never have to go back and remover the basting, which is time consuming, as it doesn't show from the front and actually gives your piece a little bit more stability.
