I sliced the arm of our microfiber love seat. Is this something I can repair or do I need to find a shop to repair the cut?
Depending on the size of the cut, they do sell patch repair kits. You may be able to sew or fabric glue.
A photo may be able to help.
If the repair doesn't look as nice, you could also buy a sofa cover, or a blanket or pillow could cover it up.
You might be able to take a piece from the back or bottom and put a patch underneath the cut.
They have fabric patching,or under stitching it,all items sold at fabric stores or Walmart!
Thanks for posting a photo. A patch may be your best bet since it is so large. Talk to the folks at one of the big box sewing/craft stores so you can find the right product in the right color.
Post back with an update!
Since this is such a long cut you may wish to try two methods.
There are two methods and both will work but most likely, neither one will look very good.
Either method will require a visit to a large sewing/craft store like Michael's or JoAnn's as you will need to pick up your supplies before you begin your repairs.
Many people use the sewing method which will repair the cut but may not be very pretty.

If you decide to go with a patch repair kit (fusible web) this may require a trip to more than one store to find the closest color match. Be very sure to completely read directions before you begin and follow through without omitting a step.
I would go under the chair and find some excess material that is at the bottom. Cut off some small pieces and get some fabric glue. You will need to place the pieces under the cut and glue them in place. You may still see the cut but it will help it from ripping more.
I have a microfiber couch which has two small torn places, close together. How can I patch it without it being noticeable?

I have two tears in a fairly new microfiber sofa. One is about 3 inches, the other is 2 1/2 inches. How can I repair this?
I have a microfiber sectional sofa that now has a small tear in it. Wondering what I can use to repair this. It has not gone all the way through the cushion fabric that I can tell.
I bought a Miami Dolphins microfiber couch a couple of years ago and just recently noticed some little tiny holes on the back of the couch. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?
You can use fray check to make sure the holes don't get bigger. Then darn the holes closed with matching thread.

Nothing available that just told me what I wanted to know. Plenty of suggestions as to where I can purchase velvet and even how to sew it when making up a garment but NOTHING on how to repair a tear.
I have a hole in the foot rest area from the heel of a shoe. How do I repair it?

My husband has a fabric lift chair and he digs his heal into the foot rest upholstery. There is starting to be some small tears. How can I repair it or what do you recommend covering it with?
I have a microfiber couch that has a rip in the seat cushion. The hard part is the cushion is attached to the couch and won't come up so I cannot just put a piece of fabric under it. Any suggestions for what I can do? Also what should I use?

Not sure if this would be what you're looking for, but seems as though it might work: Heat n Bond. You should test it on a piece of scrap fabric first, before using it on your sofa, but it looks as though this wouldn't be too noticeable.
I just bought my sofa a week ago and noticed a tiny hole in it today. It is leather look microfiber. Is there any way to fix it? I got insurance on it, but hate to use it for such a small hole. Any suggestions?
