Visible Mending Embroidery Stitches

Visible mending embroidery techniques and stitches are practical hand-sewing methods for repairing worn, damaged, torn, or thinned areas of the fabric. Designed to restore strength and extend the lifespan of the textile, mending embroidery stitches reinforce weak spots, close holes, and rebuild missing sections of the fabric, while adding character and charm to the mended garment.

Best known hand embroidery stitches for classical darning are the Running stitch and Japanese Darning Stitch, while the best options for mending knitwear are Swiss Darning and Scotch Darning Stitch.
