What is a even basting and uneven basting?
Uneven tacking is used for general basting, for edges that require less control during permanent stitching, and for marking which can be done by long and spaced stitches. For instance, in holding together the lower part of a full skirt, basting the seams for cuffs or holders and things of that sort. This is also known as long and short tacking which is composed of two short stitches followed by a long stitch. The uneven basting stitch is made the same as the even basting stitch except that the stitch on the upper side of the cloth is made about two or three times as long as the stitch on the under side of the cloth.

Is the needle used in sewing as same as the needle used in cross stitch?
Not as a general rule. When sewing, I usually use a 'sharp' needle . . . that is, a needle with a sharp point. When doing cross stitch, ( depending on the fabric of the cross stitch piece ) I use a ball point needle. If the fabric is an even-weave, like aida cloth, I use a chenille needle. You also want to make sure the eye is large enough to thread 2 to 3 strands of embroidery floss. If a regular sewing needle is all you have, then by all means use it. But as inexpensive as needles are . . . I suggest buying the size you need. NOTE: When threading a needle, if you have difficulty getting the thread(s) into the eye, turn the needle over and thread it from the other side. The eye's are stamped into a needle, and therefore it is larger at one side than the other.
