With cotton canvas you don't need to worry too much about ordinary needle
holes - a good soaking usually shrinks them down. You could of course use
glue - often heavy cotton canvas is a bit heavy for a domestic sewing
machine.

If you are going to patch it, make a sandwich of the tent fabric - do a
patch both sides. Also, cut your patch with rounded corners as they tend
not to peel the way square corners do
