    Thank you. I have repaired my umbrellas for years. You have another step [turning and hemming area for strength] which will make my repairs more sucessful and longer lasting.

    You did a great job of making a clear tutorial. I have known this but never thought about others needing to know how. Good job of seeing a need and meeting it with style. :o)
