The one I have does not catch the stitches until 1/2 way around and it leaves a big knot at the start than can make a hole in the fabric. Thanks to anyone who can help.

4x4 and 5x7 basting

obrigado.

Here is a posting I made with a few more places for basting stitches. It's nice to have a selection!

Thanks so much I did not see yours before I posted mine. I now have a number of them to test to see which one my machine likes the best!

If you email me directly I will create them for your hoop size and send back to you.

I really appreciate your offer - let me try the ones the cuties have so kindly shared before I trouble you.

The Singer Sewing Machine Site has Several on their Freebie Page. I don't have the link handy but you can do a Google Search. Hope this helps and a flower for you.

Thanks so much.

You might want to check some of the Yahoo groups you belong to. Most of them have basting stitches. My machine has a built-in basting stitch. Maybe yours does too.

Thanks for the tip. My machine does not. I don't yet belong to any Yahoo groups but maybe I should look around.

My machine has pretty frames built in and I can use the plain one for basting.

Here are 2 freebies
