The first thing I did, since this is a very heavy canvas, was I pinned the first seam together and used my ironing board as the pin cushion. I then sprayed the seam with a temporary adhesive and added a patch of material to it for more support. This was my backside. (Now when I do this for regular seams, such as jeans, I just use a piece of iron on interfacing to the back of the tear to hold it together.) I had to use something different for this project because you will be able to see the repair from both sides. Now I was able to carry this to my sewing machine with the seam held together exactly where it needs to be. I attached an open toe foot to my machine, so I can see where I am sewing.
I trimmed the material away from the seam on the back side after I sewed it because this side will show also.
Above is a picture of the stitch up very close and below is the finished project. It turned out really nice and I don't think it will be noticeable at all, unless you are really looking for it! I think my brother will be happy with it.

Great job! I'll have to remember this technique for the future.
Thanks Sondray! Before I bought my first Janome sewing machine, the first thing I checked for was this stitch!! That is how much I love it!
It was meant to be done in the same way that you have been doing it and it was good to know about it. Now I am able to use the same technique whenever I am facing the same situation.
Torn swing cover is stitched with the help of the mega machine. Most of the issues of the cover are painted for the discovery of the new Pinter and all related themes for the cover for the youngsters.
