This guide demonstrates how to do a hand sewn whip stitch to close a fabric tear on a pair of Patagonia® Quandary pants. The whip stitch is a versatile technique that binds torn edges together with looping stitches, making it ideal for sealing small rips and preventing further fraying.
Hand sewn repairs are a fun and effective way to extend the life of gear at home. DIY repairs won't void the Patagonia warranty—they're actually encouraged!
Patagonia items can also be taken in to a local retail store for repair evaluation or sent in to Patagonia through their mail-in repair service.
