The stitch in time is simply the sewing up of a small hole in a piece of material and so saving the need for more stitching at a later date, when the hole has become larger, Clearly, the first users of this expression were referring to saving nine stitches.
The original proverb read: "A Stitch in Time May save nine." http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/a-stitch-in-time.html
