Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to the temporary joining of two or more pieces of fabric or another material by some slight or temporary fastening other than successive stitches using a continous thread or other filament. Tacking may be done using a few isolated stitches or by using glue or another adhesive. For temporary joining of material done by sewing with long loose stitches and a continuous piece of thread, use "basting."
