How to Fix a Snag in a Hoodie

A snag in a hoodie is easily repaired.

Snags occur when a stitch in a piece of fabric is accidentally caught and pulled out of place. The result is an unsightly loop. Although snags don't pose a serious threat to clothing, they can ruin the appearance. Luckily, most snags can be taken care of with just a few steps. You can use a needle and some embroidery thread to push a snag in a hoodie back into its place and out of sight.

Things You'll Need

• Needle
• Embroidery thread

Instructions

1. Thread the needle with the embroidery thread. Push the needle through the loop of the snag and into the place in the hoodie that the snag begins. Make the needle go through the fabric and come out again about an inch away from the snag. Do not pull the needle and thread through.

2. Gently twist the snag around the embroidery thread so that the two are wrapped around each other. They should not be knotted together.

3. Pull the needle and thread through the fabric. The snag will be guided to the inside of the fabric along with the thread, and then left inside once the thread is pulled through the fabric.
