She’s not using scraps, though, she’s got a roll of new fencing she’s cutting up. Actually, the scene would have done a better job of showing what it meant to if Rarity had replaced one section of fence and used the old piece to cut patches for a second.
at no additional cost in time or material
It… costs as much as a new section of fence; the whole point of using scraps to repair something is that the scraps are free and laying around anyway, so you don’t have to go and buy a whole new [whatever].
To repair a hole in chicken wire you first cut about half the width of one of the “space holes” wider then the hole you are patching from the donner material (usually salvaged from an otherwise destroyed fence) in roughly the same shape. Make sure that as you cut that you do so as to leave pleanty of exposed ends and not to close to the holes. You next place the patch over the hole in a matching pattern and to fasten it use some pliers to wrap the loose ends on the patch around adjoining loops on the original fence in order to fasten the patch.
This is how to repair chicken wire because the price of that stuff adds up quick and is rather pricey.
I just about freaked when Rarity through that section out but maybe it was just headed for the salvage/junk heap.
Edit:
Oh, and it helps quite a lot if the patch is the same size hole size as the fence being repaired.
Edited
Also, the time savings especially add up if their are multiple holes to patch in the same segment. Replacing the whole stretch at once fixes all of the holes (if there are more than once), at once, at no additional cost in time or material.
I think docarrol has a point, though. If it takes this much time to fix a tiny patch of fence, that time’s going to be missing from some other chore.
However, I am not a farmer. Take it with a grain of sugar.

I am so, so sorry. My condolences.
its florida, it’s so hot and muggy they keel over as soon as they go outside.
don’t have those at the store I work at
Good heavens, man– how are the schools in your area supposed to contain herds of toddlers? Barbed wire doesn’t work, they’ll just scale it!
We defiantly don’t have those at the store I work at…
Ahh, Texas! That explains it.

I work at Lowe’s. this is literally how we fix the fences
I work at Lowe’s. this is literally how we fix the fences around the garden department when thieves cut holes in them to steal stuff.
Depends on the cost of new fence vs the cost of labor, or the cost of not being able to do other things when you’re spending so much time on that one task.
Plus, there’s the relative effectiveness of a patched fence - it’s more likely to break again around a patch, or need to be re-patched again sooner, or more likely to allow whatever it is to escape, compared to a whole new section, for example.
why does she only have small wire left? Is it cost effective to redo a whole panel for a small hole?
