Of course - if you go to our website, repairwhatyouwear.com and look at backstitch tuition, sewing on a button quickly, or probably any of the Core Mending tutorials it will show you. Best wishes
Good question but the answers are: 1. machine sewing would not have been the effect I was looking for and actually, unless you are skilled, it is often not quite as neat, 2. our website is solely for hand skills as it is the gap in knowledge..... So this was to give non machine sewers ideas for experimentation.
