b. Thread breaks or two or more consecutive skipped or run-off stitches noted during end item inspection shall be repaired by overstitching. The stitching shall start at a minimum of 1/2-inch in back of the defective area and continue a minimum of 1/2-inch beyond the defective area onto the existing stitching. Loose or excessively tight stitching shall be repaired by removing the defective stitching, without damaging the materials, and restitching in the required manner. 1/

1/ When making the above repairs, the ends of the stitching are not required to be backstitched.

The loose ends shall be trimmed with scissors. Caution: Pulling or breaking the loose ends is not allowed.

3.10.1.5 Repairs of Type 101 and 103 stitching. Repairs shall be accomplished by superimposing new tack or blindstitching in the same location after removing threads of first broken tack or blindstitching.
