    Buy a thread catcher on Etsy.com. I have two and couldn't live without them. They also have pin cushions on them so they do double-duty.

    I keep a little ceramic bowl to the right of my machine and I put my snipped threads in it. It has cut down tremendously on my cleaning up of threads!

    I spent hours vacuming up threads all day yesterday. I can't see life with out them. Now, my DH is another story. He piles his neatly on the side of his machine. then he takes them to the wastebasket. I throw mine down beside the chair for later pick up.

    am I the only one:
    that looks at a new magazine and starts a new project when I have 5 others I just started
    Or
    who buys tons of fabric when there are tons at home wrapped on boards waiting to be chosen
    or
    that wants to quit work and quilt ALL the time

    My sewing room gets so messy that I can't move -- lol

    The thread on the carpet? Well, hmmm, every couple of days I just run my fingers over the affected area and scrape them up...that way it doesn't clog up my vacuum with so much thread...

    I just watched an old Eleanor Burns video and she just threw her extra fabric over her shoulder on the floor. I wonder how cleans it up- oh ya she has stage hands! I have 2 waste baskets but still threads and material get on the floor. I really have a split personality- Mary Messy and Nancy Neat. I really like Mary Messy and sometimes have to beat Nanacy Neat down with a stick when she raises her ugle head!
