    I'm like most, I'm messy while sewing, but neat as a pin about the clean-up afterwards. I like a tidy sewing/quilting room when it's not in use. 8-)

    I'm fanatic about making sure threads go in the basket and very careful about pins because of my cats. But I usually have tons of fabric and scraps laying around that I constantly have to move. And I can never seem to find the things I need when I need them. Where did those darn scissors go anyhow?

    I guess I'm a neatnik, 'cause I have to have order or I just can't function. The room has to be orderly when I start, and during the project, and then cleaned after the project. At the end of each day I would put everything like scissors, cutter, etc., back in it's place. In case its a while before I get back to it, I won't have to search it all out again.

    I'm like a lot of you, start out neat and turn it into a total mess. I have a pastic container for scraps and a trash can beside me but the floor still gets covered with threads, pins and bits of cloth. When my machine starts telling me it's not happy I usually quit sewing and clean both it and the room.

    Kind of hard to be neat and quilt! I usually miss the garbage can when I toss fabric waste and threads I've trimmed. Not to worry....I can clean it all up after the quilt is finished!
    PS I went to the Latimer Quilt and Textile Center in Tillamook, OR today....highly recommend this for your Oregonians in the NW part of the state! 300 local quilters purchase an old school. It's used for display, quilting, and weaving. :lol:

    I try to keep things neat, as I sew in the living room, so everything is put away at the end of the day, and all my thread clippings go right in my little sewing table bag, that a lady on the board sent me, BUT while I am sewing, it does kinda look like a wind storm went throw my living room. God bless.
