Thanks in advance!
needle and thread, duct tape, sticky net patches, glue. Take your pick.
I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.
"Bless you child, when you set out to thread a needle don't hold the thread still and fetch the needle up to it; hold the needle still and poke the thread at it; that's the way a woman most always does, but a man always does t'other way."

The universal fix all.... Duct tape. I'm sure someone else will chime in with a more technical fix though.

ia this a field repair or are you at home?
If field, repair with whatever you've got on hand.
Back at home, I'd get the duct tape off if that's what you ended up having to use. Then either break out a really tiny needle using 100% polyester thread and try to weave the thread so that the hole is covered OR try a sewing machine with a really tiny needle and reinforce the hole with a scrap of no-see-um (or some kind of material like that)
Anything you do is probably not gonna be pretty but as long as the hole is closed and the skeeters are held at bay, you'll be better off than leaving the hole.
you could even try those stick on puncture repair patches (two, one either side)
