Introduction
If you've noticed a tear in the fabric of your favourite camping chair , don't worry – repairing it is a simple process and doesn't require advanced sewing skills. We will walk you through the steps on how to fixit it!
➡️Before you get started, please check the safety disclaimer at the bottom of the page.
-
-
Continue to take the pieces and set them aside until you reach the fabric that needs to be stitched.
-
In this step, you simply need to use your hands to slide off and gently remove each part.
-
-
-
Set aside all the components of the chair, sort them out in small groups and prepare for stitching.
-
-
-
Use a pair of scissors to cut a piece of cloth.
-
Note: we recommend using a piece of cloth that matches the material of the torn fabric. In this example, we used a non-stretch fabric that had a similar texture and feel to the original.
-
Place the cloth underneath the tear and get ready for the next step.
-
-
-
Use sewing pins to fix the piece of cloth in place. Put the pins around the tear, forming a "square" shape (green lines).
-
-
-
Use a straight stitch to sew a "square shape" around the tear.
-
Tip: For tips on setting up the machine take a look at this iFixit guide.
-
Rotate the piece as much as you need to find the position that makes the stitching more comfortable.
-
Once you have completed the stitch, use a pair of scissors to clean the loose threads.
-
-
-
Adjust the sewing machine to the Zig-Zag stitch setting and the length to "3".
-
Stitch a diagonal line following the direction of the red arrow.
-
-
-
Start by putting the components back, first the repaired fabric and then the rest of the parts.
-
Screw back the pieces that were taken on the previous steps.
