Step 1
Pick a needle and thread suitable for the fabric whose cut you need to process.
Thread the needle. Tie a knot on the thread. Start sewing from the wrong side; put the needle on the right side.

Throw the thread over the cut and make a new stitch, again pulling the needle from the wrong side to the front.

Tighten the thread lightly, but do not overdo it. The resulting stitch should only fix the cut, and not pull it. And the thread should lie on the fabric evenly and tightly.

Make sure that the distance between the stitches is as uniform as possible and they do not differ in height.
