Anyone have recommendations on repairing a small tear in a soft top?

I have owned many Jeeps and have always had issues in certain spots that the stitching wore out. Heavy mono fishing line has gotten me good results. I simply used the existing holes and just threaded back in. The test was 50lb and higher. Never used braid.

I bought a top online with a cigarette hole punched through just above the passenger head. Took it to Scarborough Upholstery while I as in starkville. He did a great job. It's been 6 years with out issue.
