Isn't basting a temporary seam...and a stay stitch is so the seam doesn't stretch?
If they change all the terms I am lost!
You are correct. Baste stitch and stay stitch are not the same things. Not sure why they would change one to the other?

Basting is temporary and removable. Stay stitches are to stabilize the fabric.

And I teach sewing.
