Introdução
A ladder stitch, or closure stitch, is a sewing technique that allows you to close a tear without leaving the stitching visible.
The trick is to make the stitches as small and as even as possible. This technique works for repairing almost any type of tear.
O que você precisa
-
-
Thread your needle and tie a knot in the end.
-
Drive the needle from the back of the material, just before where the tear starts.
-
Pull the thread taut.

-
One the last stitch, drive the needle through both sides of the fabric, taking as small of a stitch as possible.
-
Slowly pull the thread. As you pull, a loop will form. Draw the needle through this loop, and pull the thread taut.
-
Repeat this step, taking a tiny stitch, drawing the needle through the loop, and pulling taut.
-
Ensure that the stitches are tight, and cut any excess threads.
Instead of cutting the excess thread, I leave enough length at the end to “bury” the long threads inside the repair, where they will not show and are less likely to loosen up.
We use a clear repair patch kind of tape to fix our tents called fixmytear repair tape. So much cheaper than paying a machinist to fix it. Apply it to both sides if you can for extra strength.
