Have ever found yourself with a piece of clothing that has a hole in it that you would like covered, but don't want to use a patch? Mending that item with darning loom may be the right option for you.

In your project, you can use the same color thread as the fabric in order to blend it into your garment. This guide will take you through, step by step, how to use a darning loom to mend a hole in your an item of clothing or other fabric.

Using the the metal parts of the hooks at the top of the loom, move all hooks to the left side before beginning to move the needle through the threads to the left.
