Tears that weaken the fabric and make it look unsightly are always a risk whenever fabrics are involved. Many believe that sewing is the only way to repair these damages. But not everyone is handy with thread and needle. Here is how you can fix a tear without sewing: Materials: a. Damaged shirt with a hole that is not larger than 5 millimeters b. Iron c. Ironing board d. Fusible bonding web e. Cutaway stabilizer f. Pressing cloth or any non-textured plain cotton cloth g. Spray bottle filled with clean water. Iron your shirt first. a. Turn your damaged shirt inside out. b. Place it on your ironing board with the hole facing towards you. c. Iron the damaged section and around the hole until it is wrinkle-free. d. Once it cools, bring the excess pieces of string together around the hole so you can cover it completely. Take a 1” square of fusible bonding web. Set it over your shirt’s damaged area. Then take a slightly larger piece of cutaway stabilizer and place it directly over the piece of fusible bonding web. Bandage the hole on your shirt. a. Switch your iron to the wool setting. b. Gently place a pressing or non-textured cotton cloth over the fusible bonding web and stabilizer. Then, lightly dampen the area using your spray bottle. c. Take your heated iron and place it directly on top of the damaged section, bonding web, stabilizer, and cloth. d. Leave the iron in place for ten seconds without moving or pressing it. e. Carefully remove the iron so you would not disturb the webbing. Add some finishing touches. a. Remove the cloth and turn your shirt inside out so that the right side is now facing you. b. You need to repeat step one and gather the area using your fingers if you see that not all loose threads merged.
