Line up the edges of the rip so they're just touching.
Use the widest zigzag setting your machine has.
Start sewing a half inch away from where the rip starts.
Straddle the rip with your zigzag stitch as you sew along.

If you don't like the way the cloth is being pulled together,
reduce the thread tension setting by turning the proper knobs and screws.

If the needle fails to grab one side of the rip in places, don't worry.
If the cloth is so rotten the thread starts new rips, also don't worry.
