ARMY TM 10-1670-279-23&P AIR FORCE T.O.  13C5-27-2 NAVY NAVAIR 13-1-28 (2) Darning.  Darn a hole or tear in a gore section which does not exceed 3/4 inch in length or diameter as prescribed in para.  2-18,  using size E nylon thread.  Each gore section may be darned three times. (3) Patching.  Use a patch to repair holes which exceed 3/4 inch in length or diameter using the sewn patch. (a) Limitations.  The following limitations apply to the 22-foot extraction parachute. WARNING The    limitations    prescribed    for    parachute    canopy    patching    will    be stringently    adhered    to    under    all    circumstances    and    without    any deviations. 1    A patch will not be applied to a damaged area that has been previously patched. 2    Each gore section is limited to two patches.  However,  determination should be made as to the most  economical  method  to  be  used,    i.e.,    two  patches  versus  one  large  patch  or  one  large patch versus a section replacement.  A patch applied to a parachute canopy may extend from radial seam to radial seam. (b) Sewn patches.  There are two types of sewn patches authorized,  the basic and miscellaneous. A  basic  patch  is  used  to  repair  damaged  cloth  when  the  affected  area  is  no  closer  than  1  inch  from  a  radial  webbing, upper  lateral  band  or  lower  lateral  band.    Should  a  damaged  area  be  closer  than  1  inch  to  the  cited  areas,    a miscellaneous patch will be made. NOTE Sewn  patches  on  the  canopy  will  be  applied  to  the  inside  and  may  be square or rectangular. When a miscellaneous canopy patch is used,  cut stitching and remove or lay aside items which may interfere with patch application.  Refer to applicable item repair paragraph for proper procedures. 1    Using marking aid of contrasting color,  mark a square or rectangle around area to be patched and ensure one side of marked square or rectangle is parallel to warp or filling of fabric. 2    Cut  damaged  area  fabric  along  lines  made  in  1  above.    Further  cut  fabric  diagonally  at  each corner to allow a 1/2-inch foldback in raw edges.  Cut stitching and lay aside or remove any item which will interfere with miscellaneous patch application. 3    Make 1/2-inch foldback on each raw edge.  Pin and baste each foldback to complete prepared hole.  Basting will be performed using procedures in para.  2-18a. 2-69
