You can easily repair this tear at home using the right tools. In this guide, we will help you repair the tear in your fabric sofa and we will introduce the tools you will need in this process.
Use patches
Start by assessing the tear and check to see if part of the fabric is missing. If the tear is not big and part of the fabric is not gone, you could easily repair this tear at home. However, if the tear is significant, and a part of the fabric is missing, you could use patches to cover up the tear.
You can use a seam sealer in order to prevent the edges of the tear to rip any further. Seam sealers are just like a glue and they are very helpful for repairing the tear on your sofa.
How to sew the tear
Sewing near the frayed edges would cause tear to be more damaged in the future. Therefore, fold the edges under as far as you can. You could also use pins in order to fold the edges of the tear. In order to sew the tear on your fabric sofa you will need a curved needle and nylon thread. The curved needle is going to help you sew on a flat surface very easily and the nylon thread is very sturdy and strong. Therefore, it will be able to hold the tear for a long time. In order to sew the tear you have to make stitches. Put the needle through the edge of the tear and pull it all the way to make a stitch. Make sure the stitches are small and tight.
