    • Fold the edges of the fabric over to make a clean edge and hide any fraying.

    • Crease the fold with your fingers.

    • Cut the upholstery thread to a length appropriate for the size of your rip.

    • The thread should match the color of the fabric as closely as possible.

    • Thread the needle and tie a double knot at the end.
