Darning and Mending

Repair Large Holes

To cover large holes it is necessary to sew a new piece of
fabric onto the damaged area.
Baste the new piece of fabric onto the damaged area on the
right side of the fabric.
Sew over the fabric edges with the zigzag or the multi-step
zigzag stitch.
Trim the damaged area close to the seam from the wrong side
of the fabric.

Repair Tears

On tears, frayed edges or small holes it is useful to lay a piece
of fabric on the wrong side of the fabric. The underlayed fabric
reinforces the damaged area.
Lay a piece of fabric underneath the damaged fabric. It must
be a little larger than the damaged area.
Sew over the damaged area using the zigzag or multi-step
zigzag stitch.
Trim the piece of fabric used as reinforcement.
