Stitching. Stitch and restitch with size FF thread which matches the color of the original stitching, when possible.
Lock all straight stitching by backstitching at least 112-inch. Restitch by overstitching each end of the stitch formation by
112-inch. Restitch directly over the original stitching, following the original stitch pattern as closely as possible. Stitch
according to paragraph 2-18 and table 2-3.
b.
Replacement. When either a tie loop on bag inside or a tie loop reinforcement on bag outside is damaged, the
replacement action will include both items. Replace a tie loop and tie loop reinforcement by fabricating as
follows (figure 2-64):
(1) Remove applicable original tie loop and tie loop reinforcement by cutting stitching that secures both items to
deployment bag.
(2) Cut a 8-inch length of 1-inch-wide, type IV nylon webbing and a 3-inch length of 1 112- inch-wide, type IV
nylon webbing. Sear ends of both webbing lengths according to paragraph 2-19.
(3) Make a 1/2-inch-long turnunder on each end of 3-inch webbing length and position folded webbing in original
tie loop reinforcement location on deployment bag outside with turnunder ends facing down. Secure
replacement reinforcement to deployment bag outside by making a single row of stitching, 118-inch along
each outside edge (A, figure 2-64) using a medium-duty sewing machine. Stitching will be 7 to 11 stitches
per inch, using size FF nylon thread.
