Utility stitches and practical sewing
Darning with the elastic stitch
Darn with the elastic stitch for repairing
damaged areas.
• Sew over the damaged area in rows
until it is well covered. Take care to
ensure that the rows overlap.
Repairing tears
On tears, frayed edges or small holes
lay a piece of fabric 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 underlayed piece of fabric
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.
