invisible mending

[legend759]

i saw an advert in the paperv for invisible mending.it made me wonder.when they mend something invisibly,how can they tell if theyve done a good job if the mend is invisible?

If the mend is invisible, what is the point of having it done in the first place, surely it would look the same as before it was mended!!

I once worked in a dry cleaners where people often asked for invisible mending on their damaged cloths. It is in fact a very expensive process. For instance if you have a tear in a jacket then a peice of the material from inside where it can't be seen is re-woven into the damaged area. It is not a patch, the warp and the weft are actuall woven as it was made. It is a very time consuming job. So therefore when done it is invisible.

I went to the Army & Navy store, I said to the man, "Where are the camouflage jackets?". He said, "They're good, aren't they?"

It is not a patch on the normal way of mending things.
