How to repair the fabric on a pop up blind
Hi: Does anyone have a repair suggestion for a torn fabric blind? Apparently, a whitetail was rubbing his antlers near the blind and it cut the fabric. The straight tear is about 16 inches long.
I tried duct tape, but it fell off.

Needle and thread would be the best .
You could also just use goop . Home-depo and Canadian tire have it made for doing stuff like that .

I used a folding chair storage bag, cut a patch out of it, used fabric glue (speed sew), placed some heavy items on the repair and allowed it to dry. Seemed to work well and that particular material allowed for some flex and it seems fairly durable.

Needle and thread, then cover stitching with Goop, or Shoe Goo, to strengthen and keep thread from breaking down.

Go to your local RV parts store and buy two feet of the demon tape they sell to repair trailer underbelly tenplast. It’s fiber reinforced, crazy tough and sticks like you know what to an army blanket. I used it to repair my ATV cover and it has held up for a couple years.

Couple good suggestions already-you can get tent repair patches IIRC Coghlans had a set, or fabric store (then you might source camo) and goop.
Creeky....

Depending on the nature of the material, a series of iron on patches from the backside of the tear.
These are available at sewing stores, and used to be at Walmart as well as the former Campers Village. The sheets I have are tan brown, and about 8 inches square. The key is a hot iron and leave the patch until it is fully cool to bond to the fabric.
Wall Tent has a number of small patches from cinder burns from the chimney over the years. Patches have held on very well!

I tore a thin, gortex fabric rain jacket on a fishing trip some 10 years ago; about the same length of tear.. The only tape available for a repair was the red Tuck Tape used for sealing water barriers on buildings. The original patch is still holding, without any sign of fatigue.
I would clean the fabric, make sure its dry, and use this tape along the tear on the inside, with a cross-strip at each end.

Tenacious tape may do the trick!
