Utility stitches
Honeycomb stitch
The honeycomb stitch is an elastic and decorative hem,
which is very suitable for children's clothes and lingerie.
Sewing-on patches
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.
