REPAIR
Stitch and restitch with thread, nylon that is contrasting in color to the fabric being stitched or the original
thread being restitched. If contrasting color thread is not available, thread of matching color may be used,
provided that all other specifications are met. Straight stitching and restitching should be locked by at least
two-inches at each end of a stitch row when possible. Zig-zag restitching should extend at least ¼-inch into
undamaged stitching at each end, when possible. Restitch directly over the original stitching and follow the
original stitch pattern as close as possible.
