Take care to ensure that the rows overlap. 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. Sewing on patches To cover larger holes is it necessary to sew a new piece of fabric onto the damaged area. • Baste the new piece of fabric onto the damaged area of the face side of the fabric. • Sew over the fabric edges with the elastic stitch. • Now cut the damaged area back to the seam from the reverse side of the fabric. 38
