This method works best for holes that are less than 1⁄4 inch (0. 64 cm) in size.
To easily make a knot, wrap the end around your finger and roll the loop between your fingers a few times. Pinch the rolled thread and pull it tightly to secure the knot.
Avoid pulling tightly or you’ll make the fabric pucker noticeably.
Stitching around all sides of the hole ensures that the hole stays sewed shut.
If you cut the excess thread right at the knot, you risk cutting into the knot.
The wool setting is hot enough to melt the fusible web interfacing so you can mend the hole.
The parchment paper prevents glue from the fusible interfacing from leaking through the fabric and onto the ironing board.
If you’re fixing a hole that’s larger than 1⁄4 inch (0. 64 cm), apply a patch of jersey fabric instead of stabilizer. Cut a piece of jersey fabric that matches the color of your item and set it on the web interfacing before ironing it in place. The cut-away stabilizer supports the fabric where the hole is at so it’s less likely to tear again.
The moisture in the cloth prevents the fabric from creasing as you iron over it.
If you still see a slight hole when you flip the fabric to the right side, use your fingertip to pull the gap closed. Then, iron directly on the fabric for 10 seconds.
