Introduction

Mesh fabric is used in many items, and due to its thin composition, it can tear easily. We may feel inclined to throw away an entire item with mesh tears, as the damaged mesh can no longer function as it did before. In order to prevent unnecessary excess waste, use this guide to learn how to replace the damaged mesh on a backpack.

    • Insert an object to test the sturdiness of the new mesh. Pick up the backpack to see if the object can slip out and that the stitches are holding.

    • Check for any holes you might have missed while stitching

    • If there are stitches missing, return to step 4.
