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 a stowage flap edge reinforcement (an unlimited number of times) as follows.
a. Cut a length of 1-inch wide, type IV nylon webbing long enough to extend 2¾-inches beyond each
side of damaged area; sear ends according to WP 0013 00, SEARING AND WAXING.
b. Center webbing length lengthwise over damaged area including edge binding, and secure the splice
by stitching a box-stitch formation, 1/8-inch in from each edge, along full length of splice material.
Stitching will be made with medium-duty sewing machine, 7 to 11 stitches per inch with size FF nylon
thread.
