The old saying is "A stitch in time saves nine." It means that if you catch an unravelling in a seam early, you can fix it with one stitch, but if you wait, you will have to use ten stitches to repair it later, after it continues to unravel. The saying is equivalent to the advice to "nip something in the bud," before it grows into a bigger problem.
