Next, stitch along the long straight edge, which will again sew through the fabric patch and the laces inside it.

Now, seal the final "open" sides of the patch with another stitch line. In our example, this stitch was a rounded semi-circle line, which can be fiddly. Take your time!

Use a locking stitch to secure the repair, trim the excess thread and adjust the tightness of the speedlace to your preference.
