NOTE
For replacing a crossport, a ¼-inch needle gauge and a double
needle sewing machine with cloth/fabric puller attachment is
recommended.
4. Using either a light-duty single needle sewing machine or a double needle light/medium-duty sewing
machine with cloth/fabric puller attachment, re-sew the rib to the top and bottom skin using size E
nylon thread, and 7 to 11 stitches per inch.
5. Using a standard size template and hot knife, carefully cut a new crossport into the new fabric as
close to the original construction as possible.
