I set my sewing machine on a microfiber cloth. All the thread attach there. (there is no cleaning that cloth, I just rotate it, and flip it, until it is totally covered with threads, and then get a new one.)

I really don't have a problem, but I do so much chain sewing that I don't have many threads. The only thing the washer and dryer can't handle is a microfiber dishcloth. I wonder if one would be better for thread removal than a lint roller. When I was using lint rollers on my pants when I was working, the dog hair clogged them so quickly. There are some loose threads on my design wall. I will try a microfiber cloth and let you know.

This brush will take thread and pet hair off anything. I was skeptical but it works.

Mine gets mixed in with the dog hair on my shirt! Seriously, using Guterman's polyester avoids the problem for me. I also have a "cat food" can beside my machine and pick up threads as I sew.

When people ask me what my clothing style is, I answer "dog hair and thread". LOL

I wear jeans & knit shirts when I sew. The threads don't stick to them too bad. I like the idea of making an apron of a tablecloth so that the threads shed off. That would be cute with some type of binding around it and wouldn't be hard to make. I wear an all cotton apron when I cook with good clothes on. I don't know why that wouldn't work for sewing.

I made and wear Janet Clare’s Artisan apron, there are lots of patterns on Pinterest for similar styles and it keeps my clothes clear of thread most of the time

About stray pieces of thread: I just tell people, "I come with strings attached."

We purchased an under-desk mat for under the table where I quilt. It's a hard surface, flat, so easy to clean up.

I use a bristle brush, also known as toilet cleaning brush - that has never seen a toilet - to "scratch up" threads from the rug. It works.

I wear demon jeans & shirt for some reason threads do not stick to these. If I wear a sweater it's a thread magnet.

Cat hair and thread is a fashion accessory in my house.
