4 a Darning with the elastic stitch - 4 Use the elastic stitch to repair holes, tears and damaged areas. • If the area is only slightly damaged, sew over it with several rows of stitching until it is well covered. • For tears, frayed edges or small holes, place a piece of fabric, slightly larger than the damaged area and of the same color, on the wrong side of the fabric. Stitch over the damaged area, then cut away the excess fabric close to the stitching on the back side of your repair. Sewing-on patches -4 The best way to repair larger holes is to patch the damaged area with a new piece of fabric. • Cut a piece of fabric slightly larger than the damaged area or hole. • Stitch over the fabric edges with the elastic stitch. • Cut back the damaged fabric on the reverse side close to the seam. Repairing tears On tears, frayed edges or small holes it is useful to lay a piece of material under the reverse side of the fabric. The underlayed fabric reinforces the workpiece and ensures perfect repair. • Lay a piece of fabric underneath the damaged fabric. It must be a little larger than the damaged area. • Now sew over the damaged area. • Cut the under layed piece of material back to the seam. 59
