Explanation

Temporary stitches are used to hold fabric in place temporarily, and are removed once they have served their purpose. Examples of temporary stitches include:
· Basting stitches
· Tacking stitches
· Gathering stitches
These stitches are used to:
· Hold fabric in place while sewing
· Mark a guideline or pattern
· Gather or pleat fabric
Once the sewing project is complete, the temporary stitches are removed, leaving only the permanent stitches that hold the fabric together.
