Hey all,
I recently posted a thread on a diy TQ. I ran into a problem finishing it up. See in the pictures I got the seam ripper snagged on the outer shel of my TQ. This is so frustrating to have to fix a quilt I just built.
It's a diygearsupply design if that's helpful.
So please send me some helpful ideas as to what I can do everyone!
Not real big...but I don't want it to grow

Hand sew it shut. Just sandwich the two sides of the cut together and hand sew them together. Think football laces; real tight loops.
Marine shops or http://www.sailrite.com/
BTW.
If you go for Spinnaker Repair Tape don’t try to place a patch on the inside unless you rip a seam and can get a hand on the inside. You only got one chanceIt is sticky stuff!

You could take two pieces of scrap material finish off the edges (about 1/2 inch larger then tear). Slide one inside (secure with fabric glue or small piece of tape. Place second piece on top like a sandwich and hand stitch around perimeter with small whip stitches catching interior patch material. This would at structural integrity and possibly be less noticeable.
I'm not good at hand sewing. Can anybody report does this stuff work for these type repairs?

I have been very pleased with "Tenacious Tape" Some of our vendors sell it, REI and other outdoors gear stores. I have it in several colors. I am very impressed with how neatly it sealed my ooops.
I was asked to repair a down sleeping bag that had been emergency sealed with duct tape. The duct tape left sticky stuff all over the damaged and surrounding area. I cleaned it up applied Tenacious Tape, it is now a year later and very difficult to see where I applied the patch.
Don’t know but I assume it will.
