If you want to make changes to theme files and not lose them when the theme is updated, yes.

Ok thanks, I thought so but I am having no luck with creating a child theme so I was hoping I could get away without it…
I am following instructions on a couple of blogs and creating a new directory and then creating a new style.css file which contains this:
/*
Theme Name: Emphaino-child
Description: A Child Theme of Emphaino
Template: emphaino
*/
@import url(../emphaino/style.css);
When I activate the child theme what I get is not at all like the parent theme, I have some of my posts and pages but the layout, colours etc is completely wrong.
Any idea what I am doing wrong?
Can you post a link to your site?

Because I’m so new to this I am trying it out locally on my computer…

Figured it out – I had somehow altered the .css of the parent theme so once I re-installed that is all good again. Thanks.
Cool…sometimes you just need to ask here and then you magically solve it yourself :)!
