Shabbos 74

***************GIRSA SECTION********************
We recommend using the textual changes suggested by the Bach, Rav B. Rensburg and the parenthetical marginal notes of the Vilna Shas. This section is devoted to any *OTHER* changes that we feel ought to be made in Gemara, Rashi or Tosfos.)

37) [line 32] SHARI CHAD V'KATAR CHAD - (a) he unties one of them and leaves the other one tied (RASHI); (b) he unties the two knots, throws out the length of thread that was in between them, and ties the remaining two ends together, leaving one knot (TOSFOS 73a DH ha'Kosher, citing RABEINU CHANANEL)

*38*) [line 33] LIFNEI BASAR V'DAM EIN OSIN KEN - For a king of flesh and blood one does not undo parallel knots in the weave *after* the garment is completed. Doing so would require that one of the knots would remain untied, leaving a slight hole in the fabric. Rather, the knot would be untied *during* the weaving process, which would enable substituting a new thread or thread fragment for the knotted one without leaving a hole at all (RASHI). Alternatively, one does not fix royal garments; rather one sells such garments to non-royal customers, who wear "mended" garments (Inferred from TOSFOS 73a DH ha'Kosher, according to RABEINU CHANANEL)
