REPAIR
Repair an attachment loop requiring restitching as follows:
1. Use a heavy-duty sewing machine to restitch any loose or broken stitches.
2. Restitch over original stitch pattern using size 3, nylon thread. Overstitch ½-inch to lock stitches.
REPLACE
Replace a damaged or missing attachment loop as follows:
1. Cut a 20-inch length of type X cotton webbing.
2. Using a marking aid, mark webbing length at a point 5-inches from each end.
3. Between two 5-inch marks made in 2. above, roll ½-inch of each webbing into center of webbing width
and allow webbing edges to overlap. Secure overlapped webbing edges to webbing length by stitching a
single row of stitching along the center of webbing overlap and 1½-inches along each rolled edge beyond
point of edge overlap. Stitching will be 5 to 8 stitches per inch.
