1. Stitching. Stitch and restitch with size FF thread, that matches the color of the original stitching, when
possible. Lock all straight stitching by backstitching at least ½-inch. Restitch by overstitching each end of
the stitch formation by ½-inch. Restitch directly over the original stitching, following the original stitch
pattern as closely as possible. Stitch according to WP 0012 00 and Table 2, WP 0012 00, SEWING
PROCEDURES.
2. Splicing. Splice an edge binding (an unlimited number of times) as follows:
a. Cut a length of ¾-inch wide nylon tape 2-inches longer than damaged area.
b. Make a ½-inch foldunder on each end of tape length.
c. Center and fold tape lengthwise over edge of the damaged area. Secure splice by stitching a
boxstitch formation, 1/16-inch in from each edge, along full length of splice material.
