Step 4Frost Vs. Yogi
You may come to a branch in the rip.
Usually it's easiest to sew the vertical part of a 'T' rip first and then the cross-stroke.
Do like Yogi Berra: "When you get to a fork in the road, take it."
You'll be zigzagging up and down all these rippish roads multiple times.
Don't end up like Robert Frost:
"I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."
If the cloth is rotten, do another row of stitching next to that, and another, and another, until the cloth is all strong and reinforced. This is a great opportunity to use all those weird ornamental stitches on your machine that you'll otherwise never have a use for.

This is great! I used it to mend my favorite beach towel where it had just ripped with age. It's holding up great. Thanks for posting this. It's much simpler than how my mother had taught me to mend stuff.
