#mondaymending … tiny bit of the underarm seam “popped” in this #memade merino jersey base layer … sometimes a quick backstitch by hand (very stretchy) in matching thread is quicker than changing the needle and the thread in the machine … the 100% merino fabric still looks great after two years of hard wearing …  and we all know I love my Tees!

A stitch in time is essential! Love that fabric.

Yes, a short section by hand has its advantages. I’m reassured that your warmer tees (or at least this one) are ready for cooler temperatures!

I’m entirely with you on doing things by hand often being quicker than setting up the machine. I too have been hand sewing today.
