    oh my, yes, all of the time.

    It's not as noticeable in the summer, but in the winter I have a lot of black and brown (slacks, skirts, jackets) and I have to really check them before I go out.

    I've more than once sat in church and picked off a few threads...AFTER sitting down from singing.

    Yes, and so does my husband. My co-workers are getting used to it.

    LOL, me either, I'd go out, do all my errands and discover when I got home my top was inside out the whole time!

    i'm a clean as you go person, so i take the time to place all my threads in a neat pile or directly in the trash bin if one is near. i'm the same way with the kitchen. i just hate general cleaning.

    My family and friends are so used to the strings, they would think I quit sewing if I showed up stringless. My DH can tell how much sewing I have done by the amount of strings on me and the cats & dog.

    most of the time I'm rushing out to pick up the kids from school and don't even check, often have threads on trousers, jumpers and coats....
