EN: to baste (sewing)
This is the 'draft' version of sewing. Before you go full-on with the sewing machine, you do a quick, temporary stitch to hold things in place. It's like putting your ideas in a messy outline before writing the final paper. You hilbanahan first so your project doesn't fall apart mid-way.
From Spanish 'hilvanar' (to baste, to tack).
A very specific term used in sewing and tailoring. The root is 'hilbana'.
