I haven't got room for a sewing machine - and don't really understand them anyway, so I'll be keeping hold of this article. Thank you - and to Brenda for that sensible piece of advice!
I've always tried to stitch things up but they always look a bit off, so thanks for the real professional stitch-up advice!
I enjoy mending by hand..thanks for the info..

I do not have a machine and i do mend often but i hate sewing. my mother was an expert.

Keep some threads ready on a nnedle, then you can mend things quickly!
