How to Sew Up Holes
Cotton, nylon, silk, jute, mixed fabric, and any other thin, soft fabric should be stitched with lighter needles; the thicker the fabric, the more thread you’ll need. Identify a split seam – where two pieces of fabric were stitched together but the thread is missing and the seam is now open.
If the hole is frayed into the seam line or in the middle of the garment, you’ll need to reinforce the area. This won’t be a pretty fix, but it should be functional. If the cloth is too tight, a stitch may tear again once you wear the garment. Trim the corners to a rounded shape before ironing them onto the garment.
Lighter fabrics require a smaller needle, while heavier wovens require a larger needle. Wool sweaters, socks, and other similar items should be darned rather than sewn.
