Do you have an open arm on your machine? If so, use that. Iron the patch on and then stitch them on using your darning foot. That way you can go any direction needed. Good luck. I know how boys can go thru them as I had five. Problem was that at that time there were no open arm machines and darning feet were nearly non-existant.
