My theory and it is pretty simple.
Олег Таймень:
Tourists and mountaineers cut their tents only in one case, when it is covered with snow during a strong wind. People are sleeping in a tent. The wind blows snow and the tent collapses under the weight of the snow. It becomes impossible to breathe and the tent is cut.

In the second link there is a ruler in the photos . There is a third link that I was looking at today but I can't find it at the moment..it's a bit more detailed and I think it's in the case files. I'm not sure if patches as such were made or if some of the sewing was just reattaching the two tents along the initial sewing lines.
With regards to any sewing of holes or patches, I don't think that would be of interest to the investigates as they are self explanatory.
The point of the unexplained cuts in the tent fabric are ...1) they were not tares , as the description explains the nature of tares in the weave. They were cuts.
2) there seems to be scores on the inside of the fabric before the material/ weave is cut , these scratches extend before the cut . This suggests that whatever cut the tent , the blade or cutting tool , was done from the inside as opposed to the outside.
That's just a fact. Whether that was a searcher for example putting his hand in from the outside with a blade and pulling it towards himself , we don't know, but the reporting of the fact that the cutting of the tent material was done from the interior seems true. I don't think there's any reason to lie. How it happened is anyone's guess.

So I need to do some research on how tents are repaired. Are they cut and then hemmed and then sew together? Anyone know? When you repair clothing you always doing from the inside.

Ziljoe:
I don't think you need to research on how tents are repaired? . Holes occur in canvas , their tent might have been a bit old for sure. So small holes could be stitched, bigger holes or tears may need a patch. But a tear or patch would be obvious to Investigators, they do not report the the ware and tear of the tent.
It's not a matter of repairing from the inside or outside as there were no repairs to the three large cuts ,1,2 and 3 . Cuts 1 , 2 and 3 went through the weave at a diagonal angle , which , as I understand it, what they describe means a cut and not a rip. A rip will follow the vertical or the horizontal of the weave of the material, not both.
About the number of people in the last photo , I made this poor attempt to show the movement, I can't claim to have noticed this as it was inspired from another website where they link the two last photos in quick succession.

John Proxy:
The lack of identification of patches in the drawing and examination is bothering me. They should be labeled as well.
