Oh my! I just found this tutorial to repair a dress I just wore, only to see that beautiful JW sign in the background 😊 Hello my sister from NYS

My daughter asked me to repair a dress with the same kind of pulled out seam and I wasn't sure what to do with it. Thank you for this video -- it's exactly what I needed to see.

A good dress to show us as it has multitude of colors and if someone was watching you with a plain example, they'd be confused with their own more visually complicated textile. Great advise.

A lifesaver. I've got a vintage jacket which had started to fray at the seams and this will do the trick. Thank you!

Niler, this is exactly what I was looking for. I knew I’d need to reinforce the ripped are at the seam but didn’t know what to use. Thank you so much for the very clear, concise tutorial. ❤

I was looking for some info on repairing a child's chair..the seam had frayed and came upon this. Didn't apply to that, but I'm sure I can use the info on something else. That was a beautiful dress you made and thanks so much for your clear directions, Niler. I just subscribed. 🥰

This is a terrific video. Thanks! Is the ribbon 1/4"? I need to get some for the repair and want to make sure I have the proper width. Thank you.

Thank you for mentioning the use of both bias tape and ribbon! Hilariously the bias tape is what I need because I am mending a bed sheet so I do want it to have a little bit of give! so that helped so much! I would not have known either way!
