To the Team, Thank you for a readable tutorial. Coming from Chicago, I’ve seen inside-out umbrellas many times. Cordially, Nehmah

Very nice tutorial, thanks. I only wish I could have repaired my umbrellas so far, but every time mine was broken, it was something mechanical.

Nice tutorial, but living in a quite windy city, broken spokes are usually my problem…

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)

This is a VERY COOL tutorial! I can’t believe it never occurred to me to repair an umbrella when the little things pop off the little things… good one!

LOL, EmilyKate, you are great. I would have described the situation/repair in a similar fashion. Only my bumbershoot has doodads and thingys. Due, no doubt, to different makers. Nehmah
