I started doing this when I studied abroad in Europe during college, out of necessity. Over a decade later, I still have many of the same delicate cotton tees from back then going strong. (I darn holes as soon as I notice them, for what it’s worth.)
I don’t do it for everything - just shirts, socks, leggings, and synthetic materials. I still machine-dry towels, sheets, jeans (controversially), and chinos/slacks, because I find those often are too thick to fully air-dry and things can get musty if they take too long.

yeah that’s the type of hole I darn! I try to do it stat - so it only takes a few lil stitches. I have two strategies: if it’s a slightly nicer shirt I’ll try to find a matching thread color, or if it’s not I often will do a contrasting color and just have fun with it. will try to take some pics and add them as a comment!
Here are three! Darts are indicating them
