I keep a clear plastic bag taped to the table where my sewing machine is to keep all the threads I cut, etc. in. However, the cat is always on the table or nearby when I sew. He could put his paw into the bag to get the threads. I am careful about the pins also. The magnetic pin cushion waved over the area where sewing takes place is a good idea to get the pins which have fallen. I do find pins on the floor under my desk/table where I sew. Thanks for the info on the threads being dangerous to cats.

Threads, yarns, and ribbons aren't the only things that can cause "hiney" problems! My cat Molly "produced" a gold chain one day. Thankfully, there were no repercussions but all my jewelry (mostly fake! :-) ) now goes directly into a jewelry case!

Pretty MC's. I have always wanted a Main Coon. My friend, Pat, had one years ago. She said her baby got up to 23 lbs. and was just a sweet cat. Annie, my little gray kitty, loves in when I'm in the sewing room. yesterday she slept in one of the binds of fabric.

Thanks, sewjoyce. Rocky would just love you! he will push his head up under your hand so you will rub his head. if you stop he head butts you! he has always done this . OBTW, he weighs about 20# and likes to sit on my chest when i'm trying to watch tv. the kitties in your avatar are really cute too, sewjoyce. do they do the lick, lick, bite routine too?

Anytime Rocky might need a new place to hang out, remember me! :lol:
