At Salvation Repair, we’re dedicated to helping you fix your stuff, and we’re excited to share this tutorial with you.
Step 1: Identify the Snag
Take a closer look at your jeans and identify the snag that you want to fix. Make sure you can see the loose threads and the area where the snag is located.
Step 2: Insert the Ballpoint Needle
Insert the sharp end of your ballpoint needle through the center of the snag. This will help you to carefully turn the jeans inside out without losing the placement of the needle.
Step 3: Turn the Jeans Inside Out
Carefully turn the jeans inside out, making sure to keep the ballpoint needle in place. This will give you access to the loose threads and allow you to start repairing the snag.
Step 4: Use the Tapestry Needle
Take your No. 18 tapestry needle and gently maneuver all of the loose strings from the snagged denim to the inside of the jeans. You will position your needle to pull the loose strings upward.
Step 5: Tie the Thread
String the No. 18 tapestry needle with your thread. Tie both ends of the thread to form a small, tight knot. Make another knot, this time pulling the thread slowly and tightly around the snag.
Step 6: Secure the Knot
Get the knot as close as possible to the surface of the denim jean. Pull the knot as tight as possible. Use the scissors to trim the excess thread on both sides.
Step 7: Apply Fabric Adhesive
Take a small amount of fabric adhesive, and rub it against the knot you made to secure the snagged denim. The adhesive will secure the loose strings inside the denim.
Step 8: Allow the Adhesive to Dry
Allow the adhesive at least 20 minutes to dry. This will ensure that the knot is securely in place and the snag is fixed.
Step 9: Turn the Jeans Right Side Out
Turn the jeans right side out, and your snag is fixed You should now have a pair of jeans that looks like new again.
