What does a "stitch in time" save Nine of?

Public Comments

1. 9 more stitches when the fabric continues to come unraveled
2. I think it's saying something like if you fix the stitch now, you won't have to do more to save it later.
3. Stitches.
4. If you fix a problem right away (when first noticed) it will save you 9 times the work and hassel by ignoring the problem and postponing "the fix."
5. Planets.
6. Stitches Do not procrastinate. Complete the work you have in a timely manner, otherwise it will become a bigger job than it needed to be. The first instance of the phrase,"a stitch in time saves nine" 1732 Gnomologia, by Thomas Fuller
7. A single stitch in time will save Nine screwed up ones. It means work patiently or you'll take more time trying to fix what you screwed up.
