Stitching and Restitching.  Perform stitching and restitching as follows, referring to tables 2-2 and 2-3: (1) Parachute   canopy   assemblies.      The   stitching   and   restitching   made   on   parachute   canopies   should   be accomplished  with  thread  that  is  contrasting  in  color  to  the  fabric  being  restitched.    If  contrasting  color  thread  is  not available,  thread  of  matching  color  may  be  used,  providing  all  other  specifications  are  met.    Straight  stitching  and restitching  on  parachute  canopy  assemblies  should  be  locked  by  at  least  2  inches  at  each  end  of  a  stitch  row,  when possible.    Zig-zag  stitching  does  not  require  locking;  however,  zig-zag  restitching  should  extend  at  least  1/4  inch  into undamaged stitching at each end, when possible.  When restitching parachute canopy assemblies, stitch directly over the original stitching and follow the original stitch pattern as closely as possible.
