repairing bottom shhets
#1
I have several bottom sheets with small holes that I believe I can repair. However, how is it accomplished? Do you just darn the danged hole using some other fabric to cover up the hole? Or is there a better method? They are flannel sheets. Any help and/or comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

Ladies, thanks for the suggestions and advice. Yes, my holes are from doggies. Will try satin stitching them. Looked in my manual how to do it on my machine. I usually darn? by zigzag stitching over the holes, esp jeans, with some other denim material underneath but this is the 1st time that I thought I should try repairing the sheets as they do have life left in them Once again, thanks to all.
