How to remove puffs on trousers: practical tips art-textil.ru

A snag on your favorite dress can ruin your mood and become a real problem if you don't know how to deal with it. There are effective ways to remove puffs from clothes. The article describes tips and provides step-by-step instructions that will help restore the integrity of the canvas and quietly hide defects.

How to remove puffs on clothes without making things worse?

A hook in a visible place gives even a new item a sloppy look, and can also turn into a hole or arrow. Fortunately, removing puffs from clothes is quick and easy. To do this, you only need a sewing needle and another 5 minutes of free time. The main thing is not to rush and follow the rules exactly. For dresses, trousers, and different types of fabrics, the technique for removing puffs is slightly different.

Where do the clues come from?

Tights appear on almost any thing, and this happens for various reasons.

Wool and other natural materials are fabrics with soft threads. Over time, they wear out, causing puffs to form on clothing.
Corners of furniture or heavy objects, protruding parts of fittings, poorly tightened screws or nails that are not driven in completely are the most common reasons for the appearance of puffs in clothes.
Sometimes such unpleasant defects are formed due to cat or dog claws.
Improper care: failure to follow the washing and drying regime, improper ironing is another reason that can lead to the formation of puffs. In addition, washing in a machine without using a reliable conditioner is a sure way to cause defects in things.

How to remove snags - general principle

Tights can appear on any fabric, but this problem occurs especially often with delicate, thin and lint fabrics. The threads in the weave lie loosely, so they catch easily. As a result, one thread is pulled out and forms a loop. It is important not to cut or tear it.

There are 2 ways to remove the puff:

pull the thread to the wrong side;
press it into the fabric, removing excess tension at the edges.

The second option is preferable. Simply hiding the tie on the wrong side does not solve the problem of thread tension. The fabric seems to shrink, and the clothes no longer fit as perfectly as before. To remove the hooks, you need to put the elongated threads in place.

How to protect things from this problem?

It is difficult to constantly be in a state of emotional stress for a long time. Keeping everything under control and completely insuring yourself against various incidents is not possible in principle. To protect your favorite dress from mechanical damage, you must comply with the following simple conditions:

A lot depends on the marking machine. Try to pay attention to the quality of the purchased equipment.
Wash dresses made from thin fabrics on a gentle cycle.
Use good conditioners when washing.
Wear your clothes with pleasure. You will protect your favorite thing on a subconscious level, without bothering yourself with special care.

If you were unable to save your favorite wardrobe item from getting snagged, there is no need to despair and throw away the dress. If it is impossible to eliminate the defect, it is better to resort to some methods of disguise: decorate with discreet appliqué, fluffy fur or even bright multi-colored rhinestones.

There is no point in getting rid of the dress because of the appearance of snags. By repairing clothes and extending their life, we save the planet's resources and contribute to the preservation of the earth for posterity. Experienced housewives shared their experiences and said:

How to remove tightness on clothes made from different materials yourself.
What can you do if you couldn’t solve the problem at home without turning to specialists?

girls, tell me! The composition of the item is 65% viscose and 35% nylon. I just bought it, hung it in the closet and secured it with a lock from a neighboring dress :((((

try with a thin hook, maybe... or maybe not touch it at all, or in a visible place? What kind of thing is this anyway?

I used a needle or hook to pry it up from the inside and hide it inside (depending on the fabric)

Thank you, I try with a needle, but the threads seem to be in such fluff and I can’t tuck them all inside.

The thing is a T-shirt, the hook is on the stomach - noticeable! My husband bought it 2 days ago, I’ve never worn it, it would be nice if it’s cheap, but 60 euros is a shame (((

New features and design have appeared for the version of the Woman.ru Forum on computers. Tell us, what are your impressions of the changes?

try to stretch it carefully in all directions, holding it firmly right at the very end so as not to stretch the rest of the fabric

Try using a needle with a large eye. Stick it from the outside with the sharp end into the base of the puff (try right in the place where the puff came out, thread in thread). Then carefully continue inserting the needle until the eye of the needle reaches the material and is level with the tightening. Carefully thread the puff into the eye of the needle and pull the needle out from the inside out. The needle will turn the puff to the wrong side. Take the tail of the tie out of the needle and very lightly tug the material around the tie in different directions; if the thread has been pulled out too much, this will straighten it out a little.

Glue rhinestones, feathers, flowers.

Thank you girls, it turned out completely unnoticed!

But the “sweatshirts” are passing by. And they go far.

sweatshirt ***, for a T-shirt 60 euros is a decent price, according to the subject the author has a hook to help you

I have a jacket made of satin fabric, played the guitar and have a lot of puffs left? What to do. probably throw it away?))

By the way, the same problem. I put puffs on the back of my jacket and damn sat on the bench.. fabric.. I don’t know how to explain.. cotton + synthetics.. but it’s not uniform. I don’t know what to do damn it.((

My dress is also satin! It’s so beautiful and I took a puff. SO PITY! WHAT TO DO? I DON’T KNOW!

If you can’t do it with just a needle, you can use a needle and short thread.

Sweatshirt, 60*30=1800 approximately. Yes. very cheap.

“Sweatshirt,” you know, for a T-shirt this is VERY expensive, I would never afford such an expensive thing, while usually T-shirts are bought for 500-800 rubles.

And if you don’t have a lot of money, it’s no one’s fault, and in general, the person asked for help and not a discussion of her financial condition.

I have this problem, I bought a mesh toga for leggings and, trying it on with a bracelet, made a tightening, how to straighten it

And my cat, sliding out of the closet along the curtains, made a puff that stretched horizontally along the entire length. How to remove it? Stretching in different directions did not help. Pulling the tip to the wrong side hardly improved the situation; the tightening remained. What to do?

Prevention

It is unlikely that it will be possible to completely protect clothing from snags. But you can minimize the risk of their occurrence.

Prevention of puffs is as follows:

Wash things correctly. Before washing, check the label information. For delicate fabrics, use the appropriate washing machine cycle. It is better to wash especially delicate items by hand. You should also use soaking and aggressive chemicals to a minimum. Improper care will cause the fabric to wear out quickly and increase the risk of snagging.
Handle wet clothes with care. When wet, the material becomes especially vulnerable. It is unacceptable to twist things too hard or dry them with an iron.
Store delicate items and expensive clothes in a case. It happens that puffs appear right in the closet from other clothes. They can be left behind by locks, brooches, rhinestones. The cover will protect your things from adverse external influences.
Use conditioner when washing. It creates a protective film that improves the wear resistance of the fibers. Having lost their integrity, “fluffy” threads cling much faster than strong and smooth ones.

How to prevent puffiness

It is not possible to completely protect clothing or home textiles from snags, but you can minimize the risks. Various tips like “spray new tights with varnish” or “keep them in the freezer” are useless. It is better to follow simple rules that will extend the life of your clothes.

You should not wash things too often, choose an intensive washing mode, high water temperature or spin at maximum speed. This leads to wear of the fibers and accelerates the formation of puffs.
It is better to wash delicate items (tights, underwear, chiffon or silk dresses) in a special bag that will prevent the formation of puffs.
Try to wash clothes on a delicate cycle, without wringing too hard.
Fabric softeners will help extend the life of clothes and protect the fibers from wear.

If a tightening appears, but it is impossible to eliminate it, embroidery or applique at the site of the defect will help.

Why do puffs appear?

One of the reasons for the appearance of loops on the surface is contact with rough surfaces or sharp objects. Sometimes a fleeting touch is enough for one of the threads of the fabric to be pulled to the surface.

Snags and puffs on trousers also often appear due to improper care and improper washing conditions.

Pets can also contribute to the occurrence of damage to trousers.

You can carry out the work to eliminate defects yourself at home. The work can be completed with minimal investment of personal time.

For what reasons do puffs appear on clothes?

Tightened threads on a dress can occur anytime and anywhere: on the street, at home, at a party, at work.

Why do such troubles happen?

On items made from natural fabrics such as wool, even with careful use, minor damage may occur. This is due to the long wear of the product and the softness of the thread itself.
From poorly constructed furniture, improperly positioned heavy objects with protruding corners.
Due to protruding sharp parts: nails, screws.
Due to the impact on the tissue of domestic animals, mainly cats.
If you wash the product without taking into account the notes described in the instructions on the label.
When using an unsuitable or low-quality fabric softener for the material.

In these cases, the occurrence of delays is inevitable.

How to remove puffs

The appearance of a small snag or puff cannot be left unnoticed. If they are not removed in a timely manner, arrows and other damage may occur on the trousers.

By using available materials, protruding threads and snags can be quickly eliminated.

Gently stretch the small hook

First of all, you can try the standard method. Gently pull the product in different directions.

Important! Do not overdo it, as this may cause more serious damage.

If the tightening is not too tight, this process can help reinsert the thread and return the product to an attractive appearance.

Using a sewing needle

The most popular is to remove puffs using a regular sewing needle.

The product must be carefully straightened . For reliability, you can place it on a hard and level surface. A table would be an excellent option.
Insert the needle in the tightening area so that the eye remains on the outside.
We hook the protruding thread into the eyelet and pull it to the wrong side .

A couple of minutes, and the surface of the trousers is smooth again and without visible damage.

Tip: For greater comfort, it is recommended to use a needle with a large eye.

Features of working with different materials

Wool, knitwear

When working with knitted items made from wool or knitwear, it is better to use a crochet hook instead of a needle . It differs from a regular crochet hook in that it has a lock.

You can buy one in a specialized store.

When repairing damage to chiffon trousers, it is recommended to use a fine needle to prevent further defects from occurring.

After work, the product must be steamed with an iron turned on at a mode suitable for the fabric.

Atlas

Satin material has a rather capricious structure. If defects appear on a satin product, it is better to contact a specialized studio .

try to remove the puff using a steam iron . To do this, it will be enough to treat the fabric several times with a hot sole on the wrong side.

Features of removal from different products

Pulls can appear on items made from different fabrics. Depending on its characteristics (strength, density of fibers, etc.), the features of their removal differ.

Knitwear

To get rid of tightness on knitwear, you will need a hook with a hook. This device is used for knitting. You will also need a needle and thread to match the item on which the puff appeared.

They operate in the following way:

use a hook to lift the puff;
if a path has formed under it, it is smoothed out manually;
straighten the thread to the wrong side of the item and tighten;
so that it does not go further and does not turn outward, it is fixed using a thread and a needle.

The product is straightened, checking whether the damaged area is noticeable.

Tulle

If it is not difficult to remove the puff from most fabrics, it is enough to pull the thread to the wrong side, but it is not recommended to do this with tulle. Otherwise, a track will remain on it, which will spoil the entire appearance of the product.

You can restore tulle in the following way:

Prepare a backlight in the form of a table lamp, a glass jar and a magnifying glass.
Place the damaged area on the jar so that the tie is positioned above the neck.
Secure the canvas so that it does not move. You can use a rubber band for this.
Point the light source at the damage and hold the magnifying glass to it.
Using the blunt end of a thin needle, pull the thread in the opposite direction, restoring the fabric pattern. The movement continues until the end of the track, to the very beginning of the puff.

You need to act carefully and slowly, trying not to break the thread. This is painstaking work that requires perseverance. However, ultimately it will be possible to restore the entire canvas.

You need to be guided by the pattern that is on the tulle. When the work is completed, the tulle is carefully ironed or passed over it with a steamer.

Trousers

To remove a drawstring from your pants, you need to bring the thread that stretched the fabric to the wrong side , a little away from the hold itself.

At the same time, the condition of the fabric on the front side of the trouser leg is monitored. There will be an accordion on it, which you don’t need to pay attention to for now.

When the thread is pulled together, grab the fabric with 4 fingers in the place where the thread was pulled to the wrong side. They begin to systematically straighten the fabric, stretching it in different directions .

This is done in order to straighten out the folds. In this way, it will be possible not only to prevent the fabric from spreading, but also to get rid of the visible defect.

Shorts

The drawstring on the shorts is removed using a sewing needle. Proceed as follows:

straighten the product on a flat surface;
To prevent the shorts from slipping, they can be secured with weights;
insert a needle into the tightening area, but not all the way;
a thread is threaded into the eyelet and pulled to the wrong side;
if it is wide, you can grab it;
the formed accordion is straightened.

So, in two minutes you can get your shorts in order.

Silk

To get rid of a puff on silk fabric, proceed as follows:

Lay out the fabric on a flat surface so that the puffs are at the top.
At the site of the snag, the fabric is pierced with a needle, stopping its eye opposite the protruding thread.
Thread the needle.
Stretch it to the wrong side.
Gently stretch the product and steam a section of the fabric.

There is no need to pull the thread that was brought to the wrong side.

Blouse or shirt

You can restore a blouse or shirt in the following way:

stretch the product on the surface;
shine a bright light on the thread;
thread the thread into a thin needle;
pull it out to the wrong side;
straighten the fabric with a steam iron.

You need to work especially carefully with thin chiffon and silk shirts. Cotton items lend themselves better to correction.

Jeans

Pulls on denim rarely appear, as it is quite dense. If a snag does appear, it is hidden from the wrong side, since the fabric does not crawl.

Procedure:

To work you will need a needle with a large eye.
It is inserted next to the protruding thread so that only a slot remains on the surface.
The thread is wetted and twisted to bring it together.
Thread it through the eye of the needle and pull it out to the wrong side.
Secure the thread with a basting.

If you cannot cope with the tightening, you can unravel a few more threads. Ripped jeans have been at the peak of fashion for several years now.

Blazer

The puff on a jacket is removed according to the same principle as on other dense fabrics. The thread is threaded through the eye of the needle and brought out to the wrong side . The needle is selected to be of medium size.

Sometimes the work is complicated by the fact that the jacket has a lining. In this case, the lead is masked. The threads are matched to the tone of the product and the thread that comes out is stitched according to the warp and weft.

Sweater

If a puff appears on a knitted sweater, it is better to correct it not with a needle, but with a crochet hook with a lock. Such devices are sold in yarn stores.

Using a hook, the thread is hooked and pulled back . When it is not too long, it can be left unchanged, or cut into two parts and tied at the ends.

Sometimes it happens that when tightening the loop comes down. In this case, you will need knitting skills. The work is done from the wrong side. Using a hook, lift the loops, hooking the thread in each row. When it comes to the last loop, it is fixed by carefully sewing it on.

Polyester

Dealing with polyester puffs is not difficult, since the material is synthetic. It has the strength of cotton, so it can be subjected to mechanical stress.

To deal with the tightening, proceed as follows:

lay the item out on a flat surface with the hook facing up;
pinch the material with your fingers on two opposite sides;
gently but persistently pulling him in different directions;
if necessary, bring the thread to the wrong side.

After this procedure, all that remains is to smooth the product.

Dress

There is no universal way to deal with tightening on a dress. It all depends on what material it is made from .

Puffs on light summer dresses are adjusted by analogy with silk products. Hooks on knitted dresses are removed in the same way as on a sweater. The cotton threads are returned to place using a medium-gauge needle.

Tights

You can get rid of puffs on tights using the same principle as on thin fabrics: silk, chiffon and satin.

It is recommended to use not an ordinary sewing machine, but a surgical one, if, of course, one is available. If not, then they look for the thinnest needle in the house, but with a large eye .

If the loop is not lowered, it is carefully picked up and brought to the wrong side, after which it is secured with thread to the knot. Sometimes they use their own hair. Read more in this article.

Useful tips

When using the needle method, it is not recommended to trim the tail of the protruding thread . This may cause arrows or holes to appear, which will ultimately ruin the attractive appearance of the product.
In general, it is better to avoid using scissors in the process of removing snags . Cutting the protruding thread will make the situation worse.
After carrying out the elimination process, it is recommended to slightly steam the product with an iron with a mode suitable for the fabric . This will smooth out the fabric and finally eliminate the area of deformation.
For a more reliable fixation when removing a tightening on a knitted product, you can carefully hem the loop using a needle and thread that matches the color scheme.
If there are puffs from washing, it is better to refrain until the defects are eliminated . During the washing process, the protruding thread may finally unravel. This will lead to the appearance of holes or arrows on the trousers.
Using a special delicate washing mode will avoid the appearance of unpleasant loops.
Claw marks are almost impossible to remove at home . In this situation, it is better to contact a specialized studio.

Help: The above methods and tips can be used for any wardrobe item.

How to remove a puff from clothes

The school year has just begun, and the new school trousers or skirt are already showing strings. This happens very often. It seems that a simple solution would be to simply cut off the “trouble,” but then a hole will appear in the place of the nuisance, and maybe even an arrow will appear. So what to do if you have a puff in your clothes? The tightening problem can be fixed in just a few simple steps:

1) Gently straighten the fabric from the sides towards the tightening

2) You need to insert a needle with a large eye (large eye for convenience) into the center and lower it so that only the eye remains on the surface and pull the tail of the puff into it.

What not to do?

In order not to completely ruin the thing, you cannot do the following:

You should not pull the fabric in different directions, trying to restore its integrity. This method of returning the loop to its place is dangerous because the entire weave may come apart.
Do not try to cut or rip the thread. The tightening will continue.
It is forbidden to wash a product with puffs. If the drum rotates vigorously, the damage will only worsen.

Sewing tricks - 50 invaluable tips

There are subtleties and wisdom in sewing that are sometimes difficult to reach on your own, and this is where the advice of experienced seamstresses really helps out. You read this and wonder why it didn’t occur to you

My headache is stitching on knitwear. By the time I finish it, I'll be exhausted. I would like to sew it as it should be - with a double parallel stitch, but it doesn’t work.

2. And here’s a clever trick: the line in the center is stitched with an inclined zigzag - and it doesn’t pull or wrinkle. And the last line is the result of a straight zigzag stitch - I always struggle with it

3. Sponges on both sides help stitch a long fabric without moving it or the stitching

4. Sewing the codpiece on trousers/skirts evenly (which means beautifully) is not always possible and not everyone succeeds. Sometimes I have to stitch it twice and then trim uneven places. But here’s how to do it: draw a straight, even line on tracing paper, pin it to the place that needs to be stitched, and stitch along the line marked on the paper. I stitched it and tore off the paper. And quickly, the main thing!

5. GENIUS TIP WORTH LEARNING: DIRECTION OF STITCHES

Everything is clear in every picture. And on the last one - a fine zagzag seam on the front side, so that it is already tight, which is important for patchwork

9. Another brilliant trick. With trousers

I have perfectly fitting velvet-type jeans, but they are pretty frayed. I rarely wear it anymore - I take it to the shore. And I can’t rip it apart, in case I can’t sew similar ones, how can I live then? And they are sold only in one store in Rome and only in October. You'll be upset here. It’s good that I’m not the only one in this world looking for ways to remove a pattern from trousers.

It turned out that they can be copied without ripping them apart. You need to take masking tape as an assistant. Because you need a low-stick tape so as not to completely ruin your trousers. Lay out the trousers on the table, as flat as possible. And we begin to lay the tape on the trousers, filling the entire space of the trouser leg with it. Noting all the details along the way. Then we carefully remove the tape as one piece and transfer it to paper. Mark seam allowances. We do the same with the back leg. With a belt, yoke and other details. The back of the trousers is usually wider than the front, which means we add tape from seam to seam. This is how a copy is made.

Specifics of working with various materials

Wool, knitwear

When working with knitted items made of wool or knitwear, it is better to use a crochet hook instead of a needle . It differs from a simple crochet hook by the presence of a lock.

You can buy one in a special store.

To repair damage to chiffon trousers, it is recommended to use a fine needle to eliminate further imperfections.

After completing the work, the product must be steamed with an iron turned on at a mode suitable for the fabric.

Satin material has a rather capricious structure. If defects appear on a satin product, it is better to contact a special studio .

try to remove the puff using a steam iron . For this, it is enough to treat the fabric a couple of times with a hot sole on the reverse side.

How to remove them from a dress yourself?

Getting rid of snags is quite easy. The main condition for successfully eliminating the problem is knowing that nothing goes away on its own, even if the fabric is washed. It takes some effort to correct the situation. The main thing is not to take any action immediately after the incident. You should wait a certain amount of time to calm down and remember some practical advice from experienced housewives.

Chiffon

A dress with chiffon details or entirely made of it is often subject to deformation and damage to the integrity of the covers, because the material is more beautiful than practical.

To correct an acquired defect, you need to use a thread to pull the puff onto the inner surface and carefully steam the dress in this place. All actions must be carried out carefully in order to avoid even more dire consequences.

Wool

Fixing problems with wool fabric is not difficult. The difficulty is the number of cases of snags. Much more often, such problems arise on natural materials.

If a loop is found on woolen fabric, you must:

Hook the loop with a standard craft hook.
Pull it to the wrong side.
Smooth out the area where the snag occurs with force.

A torn or unraveling tie needs to be corrected in another way, using:

hook;
wool thread of the same color.

Removing stretch marks on silk is not easy, but it is possible at home. To do this you will need two items:

Using a sewing needle, it is recommended to pull the thread sticking out on the front side inside out. Using an iron with a gentle steam function, carefully iron the toe area. When performing work, you should remember that one careless movement or poorly adjusted temperature conditions can cause more damage to clothing.

Atlas

On a satin dress, defects are almost impossible to disguise using improvised means. When repairing things at home, you need to remember that the purpose of the manipulations is to hide the consequences of awkward movements or careless washing from prying eyes. Correction is carried out in the same way as on chiffon or silk fabric.

Knitwear

To remove a puff from a dress made of thin knitwear, you need to spend money and buy a hook at a craft store that is designed to lift the loops. This model is characterized by the presence of a special lock designed to prevent the captured thread from accidentally slipping out. On this fabric, the hook is formed with a track and folds along the edges. This is a feature of knitwear.

How to repair damage?

Spread the straightened material on a smooth surface.
Hook the thread that has gotten into the loop.
Pull the hook lightly.
Straighten the path with your hands, while simultaneously making smoothing movements in different directions.
Secure the remaining loop on the fabric using matching threads and a small needle.

The linen dress fits perfectly and is breathable. It is recommended to starch the breathable material before putting it on, because it wrinkles a lot. To rid the item of snags, it is necessary to carry out a standard procedure using a sewing needle and an iron with a non-stick ceramic sole equipped with a steam function.

Synthetics

Synthetic clothing is comfortable and practical. With the creation of this material, many problems associated with washing, drying or ironing clothes disappeared from the life of mankind. To get rid of loose threads, you need to stretch the fabric without using hooks, needles or irons.

Polyester

This is another innovation invented in the first half of the last century and actively introduced into everyday life since the mid-sixties. On clothes made of polyester, the resulting puffs do not last long and are eliminated in the same way as on other synthetic materials.

Valuable recommendations

When using the needle method, it is not recommended to cut off the tail of the protruding thread . This will cause arrows or holes to appear, which will completely damage the beautiful appearance of the product.
In general, it is better to avoid using scissors in the process of removing snags . Cutting the protruding thread will make the situation worse.
As a result of the elimination process, it is recommended to slightly steam the product with an iron using a mode suitable for fabric . This will smooth out the fabric and completely eliminate the area of deformation.
For better fixation when removing a tightening on a knitted product, you can carefully hem the loop using a needle and thread that matches the color palette.
If puffs from washing appear, it is better to hold on until the defects are removed . During the washing process, the protruding thread may unravel entirely. This will lead to holes or creases in the trousers.
Using a specialized gentle washing mode will make it possible to avoid the occurrence of unpleasant loops.
Claw marks usually cannot be removed at home . In this situation, it is better to contact a special studio.
