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 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. Splicing. A stowage flap edge reinforcement may be spliced an unlimited number of times as follows (figure
269):
(1) Cut a length of 1-inch-wide, type IV nylon webbing long enough to extend 2-inches beyond each side of
damaged area and sear ends according to paragraph 2-19.
(2) 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 using a
medium-duty sewing machine. Stitching will be 7 to 11 stitches per inch using size FF nylon thread.
