A stitch in time saves nine what?

Question

Eh?

Answer 1

Stitches. Fix something while it's small before you have to do more to fix it. If you fix a small tear with one stitch, it will save it from getting bigger. If it gets bigger, then you'd have to fix it with 9 stitches. Right?

Answer 2

It saves the nine stitches that you'd need to fix the problem caused by missing the first.

Answer 3

It saves nine more stitches..if you stitch up a rip early, it won't get worse. Same as with most life problems.

Answer 4

Saves nine stitches, if you catch it when it first starts you save yourself more problems down the line. Fix it when happens so you save steps later

Answer 5

It's an Idiom. A stitch in time saves nine means that if a job needs doing it is better to do it right now, because it will only get worse. (If you don't repair the leaking kitchen sink, you will soon be repairing the kitchen floor.)

Answer 6

More stitches. In other words, if you catch a problem while it's still small, you don't give it a chance to become a larger problem later (the tear is fixed by one stitch, so it doesn't become a bigger tear that's harder to fix later).

Answer 7

Nine more stitches, if you stitch a small hole before it becomes a bigger one...

Answer 8

if you fix a problem early, it will save a lot of effort than dealing with it later, that's the jist of it really.

Answer 9

Months!!
