back seam is basted through the line

of perforations. A one-seam sleeve

should be basted with the upper and

lower edges even.

In joining waist and sleeve seams,

short basting stitches are used,

as shown in Pig. 244. Never place

machine stitching directly on top of a

basting. If the seam is stitched just

outside the basting there will be no

difficulty in removing the latter.

Enough emphasis can not be laid on careful basting, for next to cutting, it is the groundwork of dressmaking. If it is poorly done, it is the source of many future difficulties.
