Am I the only one that wears threads to town? It is so bad that one time I talked my non-sewing friend into going to a luncheon to honor the couple that started our "Quilts for Giving" group. While sitting at the table she started picking threads off my clothing and was putting them on her clothes. I ask her what she was doing and she said she felt out of place and wanted to look like everyone else at the luncheon!

I am so intent on 1/4 inch seam, matching seams, not cutting off points and etc that I find it very annoying to worry about the threads I cut off. I have carpet and they are hard to get up so I bought a desk mat for my sewing area and a hand vac so I can clean them up before I track them on my socks all over the house. This works if I remember to vac befor I leave the sewing room. Gail

Am I the only one who:
pays for a storage unit to store all my UFO's and supplies from other crafts I have tried.

Heaven forbid - you are the only one!!!! My waste basket is on the floor to my left. I cut the thread and toss it to the general direction. I know that later I will come back and crawl on the floor and pick up most of the threads or pieces of quilt fabric. I cook the same way. Not that I throw the leftovers in the general direction of the waste basket but I do the job (counter looks like I made sandwiches of a wrecking crew instead of just the two of us) and then I clean up after. I learned to pick up the thread rather soon after a time of sewing cause my cat got a piece of longer thread and I found her choking with the thread sticking out of her mouth I pulled about 2 feet out of her that I am sure had already found it's way into her stomach. But yes, I don't want to be interupeted by being neat.

[quote=JulieR]...is reluctant to cut up all that beautiful fabric I just bought, even though that's why I bought it?

ROFL-that is so me! I buy the fabric thinking "This will make the perfect whatever" then I get ready to make the 'whatever' and I don't want to cut the fabric because I might need it to make the perfect 'whatever'. It's the craziest thing! I thought I was alone. Thank you! :-)
