Use Fabric Glue to Repair a Cut Canvas

A Needlepoint Nation member had a cut canvas and asked for help repairing it.

Besides cutting a patch to put behind the canvas, then stitching through both layers, someone posted a tip they learned from Tony Minieri--"Tony Mineri taught me to use fabric glue. Manipulate threads when glue is still sticky then let dry. Works like a charm."

Thanks for the tip, Meri!
