(2) Using a darning needle and a length of size A or E nylon thread, begin darning at one corner of the marked area.  Working in the direction of the fabric warp or filling, pass the needle and thread back and forth, through the material until the opposite diagonal corner of the marked area is reached. (3) Turn the material and weave the needle and thread back and forth across the stitching made in (2), above, until the hole is completely darned.
