[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 403547, member: 1991"] I do a lot of patching too. My boys would wear through the knees of their pants, including jeans, in the first wearing. I patch either over the top, or from the inside. Pin it in place, perhaps hand-stitch it in place (long basting stitches, remove later) then use three-step zig zag if you have it, to go over the join as well as a centimetre into the good area. Use a slightly darker shade, or the same shade, as the 'parent' fabric and really, it hardly shows. ordinary zig zag will do if you haven't got three-step, but it doesn't hold as well. Marg [/QUOTE]
