Hi Sean, Here's a fine set of patches on Puck's Ostrich bag: https://flic.kr/p/fBK7tv, https://flic.kr/p/fBZpVW, https://flic.kr/p/fBK8DM.
The patches I've got are iron-on, and then I baste in some stitches with a matching thread. This one (trigger warning - POLITICAL CONTENT) is ironed on, and then I put in stitches to tie down each corner. It's on a pretty soft jacket, and has gone through several washes with no hint of failure.

A round patch might take six stitches in addition to the ironing. I have done it the "perfect" way, stitching the whole patch, and I've also quit halfway through. An all-stitch patch is a lot of work, especially on a heavy canvas bag. Welcome to the order of the patch hoarder!
