Quick tips for repairing holes in your aerial yoga hammock.
Before starting we will talk about the types of fabrics that exist.
There are both elastic and rigid fabrics. The important thing is to make sure the fabric is knit fabric and not woven fabric.
Knit Fabric
They are generally elastic and stretch in one or both directions. This provides additional flexibility during poses and transitions.
Examples of knit fabrics: lycra for swimsuits, morley that can be used for t-shirts, or most of the fabrics we use in yoga swings.
Woven Fabric
Woven fabrics usually have less stretch compared to knitted ones. They are more rigid fabrics.
Examples of woven fabrics: fabrics used for tablecloths, linen, silk.
THE REPAIR TECHNIQUE THAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS ARTICLE APPLIES TO KNIT FABRIC. For woven fabric you can only use sewing.

Follow these tips to repair your yoga hammock without compromising safety.
Correct direction:
Before starting, make sure you are using the fabric in the correct direction.
The fabric stretches horizontally, meaning that an eventual hole will run vertically, avoiding cuts that compromise its integrity.
How to repair the yoga hammock?
For small holes, like the ones shown in the photo, apply nail polish to the edges.
This quick fix will prevent the hole from spreading and running, ensuring your fabric continues to support the weight without issue.
If the hole runs, you should also apply the polish at the end as in the photo. This will prevent it from running further.
Keep in mind that sometimes two stitches run and one is longer than the other. When in doubt, put polish on each running stitch.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU LET THE POLISH DRY WELL BEFORE USING THE YOGA SWING AGAIN.
