We can repair the strap by using a sewing machine.

Check the original seam in terms of thread color, stitching length and pattern.

For better results, try to use similar thread color and stitching technique as with the original seam.

After having set-up the sewing machine, place the strap onto the needle thread plate.

Make sure you can easily move the strap through the needle feed.

Start the stitching a few mm before the damaged thread to secure it.

Tip: In-between the stitching, check carefully whether the edges are correctly overlapping.

Follow the original seam to cover the stitching holes and ensure a close-to-original look.
