How to repair a torn legging seam
Giriş
1. adıma gitHigh-stretch sports clothing, such as fitness or running leggings, have flat seams ("flatlock" seams) that can get damaged over time. These can be repaired with a sewing machine which has a Zig-Zag stitching function, in order to keep the seam's elasticity. In this guide we'll show you how!
