    OMGoodness! I have a shutoff button on my vacuum. But yes sometimes you just get caught up in the moment. It happened to me and that's why I can LOL! I used my rotary cutter to cut the threads where I could then an exacto knife. DH LOL'd til he got the bill for me to replace my thread on his card. Then I LOL'd! That'll learn 'em! LOL!

    Thanks for the laugh! Hate when good intentions turn out poorly. Hope you get some sewing done and get to laugh at this! Can't shake the image from my head

    Gosh, I can just picture that in my mind. Sorry, but it is too funny. At least it wasn't the dogs tail

    I did this trick once but with yarn. After standing there looking horrified for far too long I finally hit the switch. Talk about a mess. My FIL was visiting at the time and several days later I was grumbling about how badly the vacuum worked and he piped up and said, " but it sure is good for winding yarn".

    YUP, cleaning can be dangerous to our state of mine. Chalk it up to Murphy's Law and change projects at least temporarily.

    In my house, I'm not allowed to use the vacumn. My feeling is it should pick up anything I lead it to- kleenex, pieces of string, little bits of fabric and perhaps a wayward cat {not really, I wouldn't hurt my boys!} When it balks at my requests I hate to admit it but I say some BAAAAAD words!
