Step By Step Process To Fix A Ripped Down Comforter
A down comforter on a bed can make a cozy as well as attractive spot, that is perfect for sleeping and lounging. The down fill present on the inner part of the comforter bring about natural warmth that you may enjoy during every winter season. However, with frequent use, you may come across wear in your comforter. If in case your comforter needs repair, then you need to fix a ripped down comforter with the help of a hand-stitching method. Use tiny and precise stitches in order to keep them unnoticeable after you finish fixing the comforter. In order to fix or patch a ripped down comforter, go through the below-mentioned steps carefully:
- First of all, trim a 12-inch length of thread and then thread the needle. Attach & bind a small knot at the end of the thread.
- The next step is to line up the edges of the tear in the comforter. If in case the comforter pull apart at a seam, you will have sewing allowances in order to help you fix the rip. If the comforter rip apart in the fabric, pull the rip together in order to generate a 1/4-inch sewing allowance on each side of the tear. If there is no liner in your comforter, then there will be breaking down feathers through the tear. If this may be the case, push the feathers down into the comforter in order to make sure that they will not fall out of the tear.
- After that, put the needle through one side of the fabric at the starting of the tear, therefore the knot will sit on the inside of the fabric after stitching the tear together. Push the needle out at the same spot where you want to sew the fabrics together.
- Put the needle into the fabric directly across on the other side of the tear. Move the needle smoothly through the fabric nearly 1/8 inch and then push the needle back out before pulling the thread tight.
- Get back the needle directly across the other side of the tear and move the needle smoothly through the fabric nearly 1/8 inch again. Again, pull the thread tight.
- Keep going back & forth across the tear with the needle, getting hold of small stitches and pulling the thread tight each time. Due to the reason that your stitches are very small and the thread matches the fabric, the repairing process should be insignificant.
- Finally, fasten & bind a small knot in the thread after finishing the stitching at the end of the tear. Put the needle again into the fabric and take a 1-inch-long stitch. Get back the needle again and pull the needle and thread tight. Clip off the extra thread.
