Would this work with repairing picked threads in a rug...could you thread the strand and push it back through?

the picture attached shows the actual awl. you can use it like you mentioned, but you may need to get a smaller gauged needle, otherwise the puncture hole may be too big. if you are using just the heavy duty needles, you could do that, but know that the eyes of the needles may not accommodate the girth of the thread. hope that helps.....

If you could re-sew the seem you created I'm sure you could but it's definitely not designed for that. The fabric is thick but it's a fairly large weave and would fray if cut (and not re-sewn).

I used it to repair a broken small wooden sculpture and it worked perfect for that. I haven't tried it for jewelry making, but imagine it should work.

I'm thinking that the spray would not cause the crumbling to stop so you would be forced to remove the old backing. If the surface underneath the latex is soft and pliable, then the spray might work well.I know this spray does not work on rugs that initially do not have a rubberized pliable backing, but rather have a hard surface. So, I would suggest you try one Can and experiment with it. Then at least you would know in the future whether to just throw away the rug or get a Can of Performix. This would also depend on what the cost of a new rug is as compared to a Can of this spray.

I think it might not stay fixed and begin to sag if the material attached has much weight to it. If used on a very light fabric it might work. In my case, I'll be using it with curtains I intend to attach at the very top to clip-ons on rods, so it might work for that. But for me, the time it takes to sew it on will let me know that it will be firm for as long as the curtains last.

Yes, if you cut it off the weft you can use it for braiding. It would probably shed less using it for braiding instead of for a sew-in like I did.

There are a lot of variables to consider, so I can't be sure, sorry. The tape held the rug down to the bare floor for a few weeks before losing its grip, so it seems you have to keep reapplying new tape to keep fresh and strong, but that's how I used it. Good luck.

Don't know woven strand bamboo. Ie that chair bottoms? This is a workhorse on flooring. Does brads and staples but you might want a smaller gage tool if you are doing furniture rework.

That's exactly what I used it for. No sewing machines here... Just needed good thread for mending little hem tears, etc.

I was wondering the same thing, my idea was to just resewing it with my leather-working awl and the same thickness of thread they use. An idea only, take it or leave it.

It might. You have to press the hem first and I think if u put the wire into the pressed hem and then let it feed through the gap, it just might work. If u look on utube for how to sew rolled hem with singer rolled hem foot, you should find out how this foot really works. Best of luck to you.

This isn't the tool for that job. It's designed for sheet metal. You'll need a proper thread-making tap (Not a rethreading tap.)

Get the heavy, twisted strand (sometimes called knot wheel) in 16 gage. It will thread right on. If you have several to do would be best to get more than one.

Yes, it should work well to secure yarn knots. It will stay flexible & waterproof. I use it to seal frayed ends on fabric all the time, especially on nylon straps when I cut them. Put a thin layer on, then work it in the fabric with a toothpick & wipe off excess, and when its semi-dry after several minutes, gently squeeze the fibers together with your finger tips to compress the fibers so the edge is nice 'n compact. Let dry for several days.

I would say yes. I used this to connect a broken handle(plastic) of a sweeper to the metal rod it was connected to. I have used this for lots of other things as well. I have even fixed a pair of leather dress shoes that had a tear in them. Very happy with this product.

Used it to repair a 3" tear in a leather chair. Cannot say it came out the way I thought it would but it has held together so far. Don't know that it would work for your situation.

Yes, just use a little more than normal so you get in between the thread fibers.
