ZIG-ZAG SEWING
(Refer to Tables 1 and 2). Components of the MC1-1B/MC1-1E, except the parachute canopy, that have
sustained cut or tear damage, may be repaired by zig-zag sewing, provided the applicable damaged area
does not have any material missing and the cut or tear is straight or L-shaped. Should the damaged area
be irregular shaped or have material missing, the repair will be achieved by either darning or patching, as
required. A zig-zag sewing repair will be accomplished using a zig-zag sewing machine, with the following
procedures:
1. Set the sewing machine to the maximum stitch width.
2. Beginning at a point ¼-inch beyond one end of the cut or tear, stitch lengthwise along the damaged
area to a point ¼-inch beyond the opposite end of the cut or tear. The cited stitching procedure will
also apply to an L-shaped cut or tear.
3. If applicable, restencil informational data or identification marks a prescribed in WP 0014 00.
