EN: will baste; will sew with long, loose stitches
This is what you do when you're too lazy to sew properly or you're just fitting a dress. It's the 'sana all' of sewing—quick and temporary, like some relationships. It's the first step before the final, committed stitch, the draft before the final paper.
From Spanish "basta" (basting stitch).
Used in the context of sewing or dressmaking. The root word "basta" also means "as long as" or "just because", but the verb form `magbasta` specifically refers to sewing.
