a. 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 1/2-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. Splicing. Splice an edge binding an unlimited number of times as follows (figure 2-67):
(1) Cut a length of 3/4-inch-wide nylon tape 2-inches longer than damaged area.
(2) Make a 1/2-inch foldunder on each end of tape length.
(3) Center and fold tape lengthwise over edge of the damaged area. Secure splice by stitching a boxstitch
formation, 1l16-inch in from each edge, along full length of splice material, using a medium-duty sewing
machine. Stitching will be 7 to 11 stitches per inch, using size FF nylon thread.
