CAUTION
Stitch removal requirements will vary according to the type of item being repaired. Due to
the unique type of stitch formations found on the MC-6, use of a stitch removal tool is
mandated when removing Bartack, Box X, or Double Box X stitch formations.
NOTE
Sewing requirements will vary according to the type of item being repaired and the type
of repair being made. The type of sewing machine, type of thread, the stitch range, and
the stitch pattern (if applicable) required to accomplish a sewing procedure will be
specified in the paragraph applicable to the item being repaired. All original stitching that
is cut during the performance of a sewing procedure will be removed from the applicable
item. Immediately after the accomplishment of a machine sewing procedure, trim thread
ends to a point as close as possible to the material that has been sewn.
NOTE
Repair and replacement of parachute components is performed in accordance with the
repair instruction in this section and in specific paragraphs applicable to the item being
repaired. Fabrication is a means of replacing an air delivery item component damaged
beyond repair and is not an item that is issued. Though the act of fabrication is a
replacement-type action, the function is actually a method of repairing an end item.
Since most fabrication pertains to components that are peculiar to parachutes, the
fabrication of components that are most general in nature will be detailed in the following
paragraphs.
