Begin by stitching around the edges of the rectangle so that there is room on all sides of the tear.
How to sew a rip in an awning.
Place a board or a clean flat surface under the tear to keep the canvas flat.
Glue it in place from the underside pressing it well.
If you have chosen to go with glue use as directed.
Apply any tape or patch carefully to the canvas once part of the tape is down it should not be removed even if it is on incorrectly.
Do not lace the awning corner back on until the glue has set up completely.
Set your board up under the tear before you get started and flatten the fabric.
When you take on fabric awning repair and reinforcing the seams you should use a cross or saddle stitch.
Draw the edges of the rip as close together as you can.
These are adequate stitches but not the strongest.
Once you have the fabric you ll want to sew the path on the underside.
Follow the same procedure as for rips in the fabric body cutting your repair fabric long enough and wide enough to extend beyond the rip.
Unlace the awning far enough that you can lift up the corner.
