Be warned, fabric or dryer lint for birds is not helping them. Fabric keeps the nests wet and damp. A few threads won't hurt but not a lot.

This is a neat idea if you have the time. The 'twine' can be used to make fabric bowls or mats.

I have used selvedge trimming to tie up plants outside.

I use them to make twine and use the twine to wrap packages. Never need ribbon on colored paper and eveything is wraped in white.

check this out http://www.craftsy.com/blog/2013/04/...with-selvages/ about the middle of the page is a quilt block she made. Also, I saw some stuffed animals made with the selvages. They were really cute. Google it and a whole lot of ideas come up.

I know people that save everything including thread. Several have the Babylock embellisher and do all kinds of crazy things. I give my scraps to a group to stuff pet beds
