Einleitung

Umbrellas help protect you from rain and other weather patterns and so it is important to keep them in working order. A detached metal rib can lead to issues with umbrella usage. This guide will help you reattach a metal rib to the fabric panel to get your umbrella back into working condition.

    • Tie a knot two inches from the end of the thread.

    • Place the opposite end of the thread into a sewing needle.

    • Rubbing or wetting the end of the thread may make it easier to insert the thread into the sewing needle.

    • Align the metal rib with the region of the fabric panel that it detached from.

    • If necessary, use scotch tape to secure the metal rib into position so it does not lift up.

    • Don't run with scissors!

    • Use scissors to cut off any excess thread.

    • If necessary, remove any scotch tape pieces.
