You should always get a patch that is larger than the whole, a lot larger so the stitching won't rip. I have countless pairs of pants that have this problem and I can't wear them because the patches I used were too small.

1)sew hole shut to the best you can.

2)get 2 patches

3) sew one patch INSIDE your pants over the whole

4) sew 2nd patch OUTSIDE of pants over hole.

probbaly the strongest way iv found. i had a re-occering crotch hole. iv had this patch job for maby 2 months now, a bit of fraying on the outside patch but ill just resew that soon.
