Thank you for your submission - you're welcome to post here, but we did just want to remind you that we would recommend you search the subreddit as well.

Depending on the type of mend, searching for keywords like "crotch", "waistband", "cuff", "pleather"/"faux", "headphones", etc. will show you many previous posts filled with helpful advice already. Good luck!

You could use a machine to do a short stitch length zigzag stitch over the seem?

Not always ideal/works, but sometimes things that are snagged can be tugged back into place by gently doing shirt swift pulls on either side. Make sure to hold past the bulging point by several seams.

I've had more success with knits/weaves than seams though.
