Knit fabrics like lightweight jersey aren't like thicker knits that can be fixed by gently working the pull from the front to the inside. Advertisement Covered up - yes; fixed - no. You might be able to cover it with an embroidered patch carefully to avoid more pulls appliqued over it - you might be able to find a needlewoman who can use a matching elasticated thread to work something in that will either hide the pull or at least make it less noticeable.

Backstitch through the existing serger stitches by around an inch. Trim any remaining tail to finish. Tip: Once you reach the holey or frayed part of the leggings, serge inward until you reach the unaffected material and then cut away the unwanted excess. Set the sewing machine to either a zig-zag stitch or a triple straight stitch.

Run the thread through beeswax to make it easier to thread before tying off the end. Turn the leggings inside out to expose the seams. If the hole is along the seam, use your fingers to pinch the fabric together and stitch along the original seam line. Tip: Use a thin needle and a thread in the same color as the leggings for seamless results. If you know of anyone else who stands to do the same, please feel free to share.
