Cutting holes in fabric to drain water is a simple but effective way to remove excess water from fabric, making it easier to dry. This technique is often used for fabrics that are difficult to wring out, such as heavy canvas or thick towels.
To cut holes in fabric to drain water, you will need a sharp knife or scissors and a cutting board. Place the fabric on the cutting board and smooth it out. Using the knife or scissors, carefully cut small holes in the fabric, about 1/4 inch apart. Be sure to cut the holes in a straight line so that the water can drain evenly.
