a.
Repair. 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 1/2 inch. Restitch directly over the original stitching, following the
original stitch pattern as closely as possible. Stitch according to para. 2-18 and table 2-3.
b.
Replace. 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 2-63):
(1) Remove applicable original tie loop and tie loop reinforcement by cutting stitching that
secures both items to deployment bag.
(2) Cut a 10-inch length of 1-inch wide, type IV nylon webbing and a 3-inch length of 1
1/2-inch wide, type IV nylon webbing. Sear ends of both webbing lengths according to
para. 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 out-
side by making a single row of stitching, 1/8 inch in, along each outside edge (A, figure
2-63), using a medium-duty sewing machine and size FF nylon thread. Stitching will be
7 to 11 stitches per inch.
