Steps:

1. Check the defective area, and assess how big the repair will need to be.

4. Then, position the item under the sewing machine, and make a small locking stitch with the forward & reverse function.
5. Tip: use the iFixit basic sewing resources for more help on sewing machine setup.
6. Continue sewing around the defective zone, following the line of the original thread.
