lose threads when you get done.

I don't have any extra sewing thread when I do it because this neighbor of mine showed me a hint & that was to fold a piece of material & when you come to the end of a sewm to sew onto that piece & than you just cut right at the end & when you start again you don't hve to worry about your thread coming out of your needle. The thread that i ws taling about is what come off of the material.

I use the little piece of fabric trick too...(I call it a thread saver)...but for the others...I pick them off and use a piece of wide masking tape wrapped around my hand and I tap..tap...tap..picking straight up..not rubbing.

I wash mine and dry each quilt as I finish sewing on the binding. I then lay it out on my glass topped dining room table to make sure it is completely dry and I run a lint roller on it to make sure all lose threads are removed. I put it in a plastic bag and give it to the receiver or in my storage closet. I cut any ravelings off as I quilt. Works great for me.
