TM 9-2350-261-34 REPAIR N O T E To repair fabric, use 12-19/64 ounce (363 ml) per square cotton sateen or cot- ton duck and size FF polyester thread. The cloth and thread must be fire, water, weather and mildew resistant. 12. Use lockstitching to install all patches, straps, flaps and side fasteners and to repair open seams. Use smallest needle size you can to make weatherproof seams. Allow 5 to 7 stitches per 1 inch (3 cm). Back- stitch all thread breaks at least 1 inch (3 cm). Backstitch all ends at least 1 inch (3 cm), except where ends are turned under in a hem or seam or held down by other stitching. Maintain thread tension so stitch- ing is tight and lock is firmly fixed in center of material. Trim all ends. Take care, when restitching, to make a new stitch line. All hardware, leather, webbing, lines and netting used for repair must be the same as the original material. 15-2
