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.

-
Take the broken part of the stretcher to rib joint.
-
Realign it with the rib assembly.
-
-
-
Take the needle and carefully pass it through one of the holes as seen in the picture.
-
Then pull it back to the same side you went through.
-
-
-
Take the needle and pass it under the stretcher (not through the middle).
-
-
-
-
Take the needle and pass it through the second hole.
-
Then position the needle so that it faces the first hole from the same side you just went through.
-
-
-
Repeat steps 2-4 until the two pieces are held tightly together.
-
Tie a knot to secure it.
-
-
-
Take the hole, hold each end and pull outward into a line.
-
Take the needle and thread and form a hemming stitch (see Step 7).
-
-
-
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.
-
The umbrella is fixed now, you may now use the umbrella freely.

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?
