Default Patching Inner Tubes

I got a flat on my motorcycle the other day. I picked up a roofing nail. I put in a new tube, but I am confident that the puncture is so tiny that tube is salvageable. I haven't patched an inner tube since I was a kid and the tube was in a bicycle.

I searched YouTube for the best misinformation I could find, but then I thought I would check with the experts, the Model A drivers.

Which are the better kits? I know that patch should have rounded corners, and tapered edges are preferred. Some things I read talked about "stitching," but I couldn't get a clear answer on how that is done.

What advice do you guys have? Any videos that are good and complete?

Thanks in advance.

Ken
