Prepare the sewing machine and offer up the repaired area.

Tip: For tips on setting up the machine take a look at this iFixit guide.

Depress the sewing machine foot and remove any pins in the way of the sewing route. Start sewing a straight line from one side of the hole to the other, close to the edge of the hem, and add a lock stitch at the beginning and end.
