Troubleshooting
Velcro closure not holding securely
Ensure the Velcro surfaces are clean and free of debris. Gently brush the hook and loop sides to remove lint. If the Velcro is worn, it may need professional repair or replacement.
Stitching coming loose on pocket reinforcement
For minor loose threads, carefully trim them. If seams are significantly unraveling, consider professional mending to prevent further damage.
Stretch fabric snagged or torn
Small snags can sometimes be carefully worked back into place with a needle. For larger tears, professional repair or patching may be necessary. Avoid activities that could cause further snagging.
