[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Fixing hole in fabric

[Tracy Carcione]

Yesterday I managed to fall down and get a tiny hole in my brand-new pants.
Today, I fixed the hole using a whip stitch, but that created a small rumple
bigger than the original hole.  

I'm wondering if I shouldn't cut the knots and let the thread pull out,
giving me back the tiny hole. 

Is there a better way to fix a small hole than whip stitch?  Maybe it would
be better to wait until the hole gets bigger before trying to fix it?  Maybe
the fix is worse than the actual hole?
