How to Repair Clothing With Undetectable Moth Damage

    Invisibly Repair Moth Damage

    • 1). Examine garment for moth holes. Carefully snip away any excess fiber or threads from the area. Cut these into very small bits and save.

    • 2). Place item on ironing board, with only damaged layer of fabric on top.

      Cut pieces of fusible web to fit each hole, with about 1/2-inch to spare around each. For each hole, center the web under the hole, with the fusible side up towards the damaged fabric.

    • 3). Fill and heat a steam iron to wool setting.

      Place a generous layer of fabric bits over each hole so that the fusible web is not visible. Firmly press the iron onto the area and give several shots of steam.

    • 4). When all holes have been treated and the areas are cool, pick up the garment and shake it gently. Examine each hole. If any parts of the fusible web are evident, repeat the process again with more fiber bits.

    • 5). When satisfied with the results, iron the garment as normal.
