Sewing patches onto a Carradice, blast it through both layers of the flap or try and only go through the top?

I went through both layers. This is what I did to make sure to keep water out
1. Re-proof the saddle bag before starting. I rubbed in new wax then used a heat gun to melt it into the canvas. I did this twice.
2. Scotchgard the patches - use two coats
3. Use waxed thread
No water ingress for me.
