thanks all! Yeah it if fine now

I poked the hole on the back fortunately not the front and it is in line with the finish seam I use. so I just sewed over it several times catching all the raw edges and it doesn't look too bad. I doubt anyone but me will notice or think much of it if they do.

In the picture of the hotpad it is the bottom left corner. I don't think it is too noticable. I don't like to send anything that might be weak and come apart down the road for the customer.
