Anything over about an inch, gets thrown into my scrap bucket, that is under my cutting table. When I go scrap digging, it gets cleaned out a bit.
I don't have any hard fast scrap rules. Sometimes small pieces get saved, if I think I can use them later.
My biggest problem is batting. I hate throwing it away but I have about 500 scrap pieces, that I don't know what to do with.

Great idea to keep them next to the sewing machine for test-run sewing. I sew for craft fairs and have a trash bag or two of scraps that I don't know what to do with, but some creative idea might blossom in my brain one day.
