do you toss your thread clippings on the floor?
#222
My fingers get so rough that the threads stick to them and don't want to fall into the trash can. I make a loop of tape with the sticky side out and stick it near my machine. Then I just tap the threads onto it, and when it gets too full to take any more the whole shootin' match goes into the can.

LOL, I find this happens to me too! I guess I have a lot of electricity running through me cause it sticks to me like glue...LOL

and stick to my fingers when I try to release them, drop to my clothes and then dance their way to the floor where they stay 'till I'm through with the current project. Then I clean them all up and start all over again with the next project!
