Mending a plushie
I recently got a Hatsune Miku plush. Unfortunately, this morning the tag got pulled out and now there is a hole in one of the twintails.
The hole is only a couple millimeters in diameter but the stuffing is already starting to come out.
I'm thinking about what to do to patch the hole. This is such a prized possession for me. I haven't threaded a needle in a while but I don't want to try this lest I make more holes.
I recently got a tube of krazy glue. I do have a soft microfiber cloth that wouldn't look too bad. Because the tag has been removed, I am resolved to keep this plush.
My question to you all is this: To those who deal with plushies, do you suggest trying to sew up that tiny hole or am I better off using that glue?
Thank you!

@reverexx2: your local fabric shop, like michaels or something.
you can just google: fabric shops near me
I needed the assurance from other (albeit anonymous) people. I'll try the thread and needle. Thank you all for your input!
@fun2killu Alas, I don't know where I can get fabric glue if not at the Rag shop (which closed many years ago..)
@sparkshooter, I'd much rather fix it.
@RedRoseRoxas, I have plenty of friends to sit across from me, thank you very much!

Thanks.

Buy a new one.
Sew, glue gets messy if you don't know what you're doing. Thread can always be removed.
Definitely sew it. The glue would be too risky, if you ask me. If you are uncomfortable with your sewing abilities, try looking up how to do it on the Internet and maybe practice on a couple patches of cloth to get the hang of it.
Sew it up if the fabric is still on.
If not, look for fabric/string that is close to the doll's color to patch it up
sew it up. i remember from my childhood beanie baby days.
