Every now and then an accident happens, and we find ourselves with a hole in our half-finished needlepoint canvas. In my case, it's usually a pair of rogue scissors in my work bag that cause the problem.
I certainly don't wish to start my project all over again, especially if it is nearing completion! Luckily, it can be repaired quickly and easily.I'm a big advocate of doing repairs the right way. In the long run it will save time and frustration.
