ZIG-ZAG SEWING
(Refer to Tables 1 and 2, WP 0012 00). Components of the T-10C/T-10D, except the parachute canopy,
that have sustained cut or tear damage, may be repaired by zig-zag sewing, provided the applicable
damaged area does not have any material missing and the cut or tear is straight or L-shaped. Should the
damaged area be irregular shaped or have material missing, the repair will be achieved by either darning or
patching, as required. A zig-zag sewing repair will be accomplished using a zig-zag sewing machine, with
the following procedures:
1. Set the sewing machine to the maximum stitch width.
2. Beginning at a point ¼-inch beyond one end of the cut or tear, stitch lengthwise along the damaged
area to a point ¼-inch beyond the opposite end of the cut or tear.
3. The cited stitching procedure will also apply to an L-shaped cut or tear.
4. If applicable, restencil informational data or identification marks as prescribed in WP 0014 00.
