Umbrella Stretcher to Rib Joint Repair

Introduction

A really windy day can break an umbrella. In some cases, a joint will break, disconnecting the stretcher from the rib. You will be using a needle and thread in order to replicate the function of the joint that held the stretcher and the rib together. In addition, this guide will also cover how to sew a small rip on the canopy.

    • Begin with a threaded needle and start the stitch at one end of the hole and pull the needle all the way until just before the thread runs out.

    • Then loop back around and go through again.

    • Repeat until you reach the other end.

    • You can form the stitch multiple times to make it more secure.

I have a problem with the auto lock, it's a knight bridge umbrella, when i retract it, it doesn't lock in place, can it be fixed or replace the handle in case it's totally eroded?

I have 2 umbrellas which have both snapped at the hole. Is there a way this technique or a version of it can be used to repair them?
