Is it possible to repair a fabric tear from serging?
WTG Intermediate Member since 3/18/03 Posts: 28	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 7/14/12 12:15 PM While serging the side seam of a dress (Simplicity 2648) I accidentally caught the main body of the fabric and the serger knife cut the fabric. It's a long triangular tear. Do I have to throw away the dress? It's on the lower back of the dress. Is there any way it can be saved or repaired? Thanks!
