1. Basically, do things right the first time and you won't have to go back to fix it later when it's a much bigger problem
2. it means that a little preventive maintenance can eliminate the need for major repairs later. meaning, if you make one stitch now, it will save you from having to make 9 later in time.
3. it means that if youre going to do something put some good work into it and put great quiality in it. if you do it right the first time it saves you from having to do it again when you didnt do it right or when it breaks.
4. it is better to take your time the first time you do something than to rush through and have to go over it repeatedly to get it right
5. It's easier to take precautions than to try an fix things after they go wrong(just as by putting a single stitch in a garment, a person might prevent a tear that take nine stitches to close). The same idea is expressed in the proverb "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"
6. And what is the little magic word that should accompany a request such as yours?
7. It means that if you do something immediately you will save more time than if you put it off for a while.
